Description: Don't Give Up The Ship!
This motto led generations of old and experienced seamen, as well as young sailors.
The book was written for the use of the Naval and Merchant Service of the United States, as a ready to hand manual, and first published in the mid-19th century. It soon became the Bible of U.S. sailors and had many reprints and revisions. It provides specific instructions for every aspect of sailing the great ships, from knotting and rigging to blacking the guns, from stationing the crew to dealing with emergencies. The sailor learns about stowing provisions, driving before the wind, securing the ship for sea, and setting and shifting course. He also learns what to do in the extremities of life at sea: how to unbend a topsail in a gate and how to prepare for a hurricane; what to do if the tiller breaks, the mainmast is carried away, or the ship leaks faster than the pumps can free her.
The author considered himself better versed with the marlinespike than the pen, and wrote the book when he was off from official duties.
The book is decorated with with 70 rare engravings, a glossary of sea terms, and useful tables of rigging, spars, aails, blocks, canvas, cordage, chain and hemp cables.
