The central coast of China. At nearly seven feet tall, Admiral Zheng He looked out at the sea before him. For the next three decades, the oceans would be his home, as he would command over 1,500 ships and thousands of sailors in seven journeys that would predate the heart of the European Age of Exploration. Over his seven epic journeys, Zheng He explored the Northern Pacific and Indian Oceans, traveling as far as the east coast of Africa, expanding Chinese power globally, warring with pirates, and capturing enemies along the way in the name of his emperor, Zhu Di. But this giant figure was not always at the helm of a ship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALL PROFITS FROM ROYALTIES GO TO THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND AT MAINE MARITIME ACADEMY Voyages of the Seven Seas Veterans home from the war have wanderlust and sail to Europe; broken arms, broken rudders, and faulty equipment complicate the voyage; and the following year, only one of them makes the return trip in a voyage that breaks three sailing records-one of which still stands. Two young veterans of WWII find that they are unable to settle into tranquil civilian life and decide to see Europe and perhaps the world itself from the deck of a small sailboat. Laughed at and derided by others, they nonetheless set out in the summer of 1947 for Europe aboard the Seven Seas, a 38-foot gaff-rigged yawl, some 36 years old. Stanley Cressey narrates the log for the voyage across the Atlantic with stops in Bermuda and the Azores. Once in Portugal, the two men travel to Paris for the winter. Instead of sailing into the Mediterranean in the spring of 1948, Joe Petterson decides to sail back to Maine. As Stan decides against a second crossing, Joe becomes even more determined to make the sail alone. The second half of the narrative is from Joe's logbook entries. He endures gale force winds and a leaky hull, but his grit and resolve overcome all obstacles. In the end, he lands in Northeast Harbor, Maine after a record setting crossing. In 1948, Joe was the youngest person to sail solo from east to west across the Atlantic; he did so in the fastest time; and he made the voyage in the oldest boat! Complete with pictures and appendices full of nautical information, the editors, Browne and Doggett have compiled a truly remarkable tale designed to be not only enjoyable but inspirational for all. We believe the narrative woven from their stories captures the essence of a time and place long lost in our current technological society. We hope you enjoy it....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firsthand accounts from around the world of more than forty of the most important shipwreck and sunken-city projects ever undertaken. From the Pacific to the Mediterranean, from the Caribbean to the Red Sea, from northern Europe and the northern United States to the Indian Ocean, archaeologists vividly describe shipwrecks from centuries past, from the oldest and deepest ever excavated to the remains of battles in both the European and Pacific theaters of World War II. Readers will dive nearly 200 feet with Cemal Pulak on a royal ship that sank over 3,300 years ago off the Aegean coast of Turkey, and explore with Donny Hamilton the streets and houses of the richest English colony in the New World, the infamous pirate stronghold of Port Royal, Jamaica, swallowed by the sea in 1692. They will accompany famed undersea explorer Robert Ballard, discoverer of the Titanic, as he and Cheryl Ward search for shipwrecks in the deep, oxygen-free waters of the Black Sea. They will wade with archaeologist Fred Hocker through mud along the bank of a South Carolina river, and then sail through a gale with Susan Womer Katzev on a full-scale replica of the best-preserved ancient Greek ship yet raised from the depths of the Mediterranean. The book describes the tragic loss, within sight of their loved ones, of seamen returning home to Portugal in 1606, at the end of a two-year voyage to the East on the Nossa Senhora dos Martires, and then describes the fate of the crew of another Portuguese ship, the Santo Antonio de Tanna, which sank off Mombasa, Kenya, while trying to lift the siege of Fort Jesus by Omani Arabs in 1697. It describes the foods, games, weapons, tools, and grooming implements on a ship sailed by Bulgarian merchants around AD 1025, carrying as cargo the largest known collections of medieval Islamic glass and glazed pottery. 350 color illustrations.
