Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Ships Of the countless stories of naval action which I have listened to in the course of the months I have spent with the Grand Fleet, I cannot recall a single one which was told as the consequence of being asked for with malice aforethought. I have never yet found a man of action who was enamoured of the sound of his own voice raised in the recital of his own exploits, and if there is one thing more than another calculated to throw an otherwise not untalkative British Naval Officer into a state of uncommunicativeness, in comparison with which the traditional silence of the sphinx or the proverbial close-mouthedness of the clam are alike sheer garrulity, it is to ask him, point blank, to tell you (for instance) how he took his submarine into the Baltic, or what his destroyer did at Jutland, or how he fought his cruiser at Dogger Bank, or something similar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ships of the Seven Seas In gathering material for a book of this kind one's sources of information are likely to be so numerous and so diverse as to defy classification. Some of the information I have gotten first hand on ships in which I have served or voyaged. Much more of it has been picked up from countless scattered sources during twenty years or more in which ships have been my hobby. More still, however, has been consciously taken from books on ships and shipping that I have gathered together or referred to during the time I spent actually in preparing the manuscript.

Download or read book All About Ships Classic Reprint written by Taprell Dorling and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from All About Ships Though the literature of the sea is wellnigh inexhaustible, there is, I venture to think, no work at a popular price dealing with sea subjects as a whole, and in compiling this volume it is my hope that it may be of interest and use to all boys, and particularly those who one day will serve their country either in the Royal Navy or the equally important Mercantile Marine. The book is not intended to run in competition with more elaborate and comprehensive volumes already upon the market, each of which deals with its own particular nautical subject, nor for the perusal of the professional seaman; but, of course, it goes without saying that I shall be much gratified if there is anything in this work which arouses his interest. I have included a certain amount of historical information, and have touched upon certain matters not frequently discussed outside the covers of technical works.

Download or read book Ships of the Royal Navy Classic Reprint written by Oscar Parkes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ships of the Royal Navy This book is written for those who feel more than a passing interest in what is still out First Line of Defence to whom a ship should be a living entity, something to be recognised and understood With a little of technical knowledge and a memory of what has been and not merely to be regarded as a grey hulk of steel with a name. To those who would seek acquaintance with the Fleet, the present naval literature seems either too technical, or else not sufficiently so - there is no happy medium between the naval annuals and the picture books. For this reason my aim has been to try and steer a middle course and to treat with the various types of ships in a semi-technical way which I hope will be neither too advanced for the ordinary reader, nor too elementary for those with a more critical knowledge.

Download or read book Ships and Havens Classic Reprint written by Henry Van Dyke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ships and Havens F all the things that man has made, 1 none is so full of interest and charm, 9 none possesses so distinct a life and character of its own, as a ship. Ships are but boards, says Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. But we feel that this is a thoroughly wooden opinion, one of those literal judgments which stick to the facts and miss the truth. Ships have something more in them than the timbers of which they are made. Human thought and human labor and human love, - the designer's clever con ception, the builder's patient toil, the explor er's daring venture, the merchant's costly enterprise, the sailor's loyal affection, the traveller's hopes and fears, - all the manifold sympathies of humanity, inform the dumb pil grims of the sea with a human quality. There is a spirit within their oaken ribs, a signifi cance in their strange histories. The common language in which we speak of them is an unconscious confession of this feeling. We say of a ship, She sails well. She minds her helm quickly. The wind is against her, but she makes good headway. We wish her a prosperous voyage. We en dow her with personality; and, as if to ac knowledge the full measure of our interest, Iwe express it in terms which belong to the more interesting sex. One reason for this is undoubtedly the fact that the ship appears to us as a traveller to an unseen, and often an unknown, haven. It is the element of mystery, of adventure, of movement towards a secret goal, that fasci nates our imagination, and draws our sympa thy after it. When this is wanting, the ship loses something of her enchantment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
