This wide-ranging anthology explores the fascinating fellowship created by life at sea. Isolated from land and society, the ship and its crew develop a close relationship. These stories reveal how this comradeship is heightened, sharpened, and tested to its limits. Containing twenty-seven of the best stories about life and adventure at sea, there are tales by Kipling and Hemingway, Faulkner and Conrad, together with Jack London, Malcolm Lowry, and Peter Ustinov.
