Download or read book Able Seaman Just Nuisance written by Sherri Rowe and published by Crewman #4. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Navy is going to the dogs..... based on a true story, Just Nuisance is a hilarious, happily-ever-after misadventure of the only dog ever enlisted in the British Royal Navy. A gigantic Great Dane, appropriately named Just Nuisance, bumbled his way into the hearts of countless sailors and civilians as he championed his beloved mates, saved lives, and kept his little corner of the Empire safe from the Axis of Evil. It was 1939 and the world was on the brink of war. The Royal Navy decided victory lay in the hidden recesses of the British Empire. Recesses like Simon's Town South Africa, where an unexpected secret would put an end to Hitler and his dreams of world domination. A dog...but not just any dog...a gigantic Great Dane who amassed a fortune in fame on two continents and went on to become a legend. This is his story. And, the story of the sailors who befriended him, ultimately saved him, and the madcap mayhem they created together. Just Nuisance befriended every sailor in Simon's Town and everyone loved him, except the stuffed shirts at the South Africa Railways. Free to run amok up and down the Cape, Just Nuisance created good-natured chaos, ruffled feathers and made history as the only canine ever enlisted in the Royal Navy...all the while running from the arrogant South African Railways, who put a bounty on his free spirited head. With a supporting cast of equally lovable, zany, and distinctive characters...from Just Nuisance's sidekick, Ajax, the loyal Bulldog to the crazy but dedicated sailors you have an irresistible combination of fun and adventure. Just Nuisance was a fun loving pup...but he was much more than that to the hundreds of lives he touched during his service to King and Country. To this day Just Nuisance is a legend in many parts of the world.

Download or read book The Outlaw Sea written by William Langewiesche and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open ocean--that vast expanse of international waters--spreads across three-fourths of the globe. It is a place of storms and danger, both natural and manmade. And at a time when every last patch of land is claimed by one government or another, it is a place that remains radically free. With typically understated lyricism, William Langewiesche explores this ocean world and the enterprises--licit and illicit--that flourish in the privacy afforded by its horizons. But its efficiencies are accompanied by global problems--shipwrecks and pollution, the hard lives and deaths of the crews of the gargantuan ships, and the growth of two pathogens: a modern and sophisticated strain of piracy and its close cousin, the maritime form of the new stateless terrorism. This is the outlaw sea that Langewiesche brings startlingly into view. The ocean is our world, he reminds us, and it is wild.

Download or read book HMS Bermuda Days written by Peter Broadbent and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961 the Royal Navy came up with a brilliant idea: why not take all its rogues, thugs and malcontents and place them on board its flagship, HMS Bermuda, where hard work and continuous exercising would keep them out of trouble? Joining this colourful crew was sixteen-year-old Peter Broadbent, fresh out of his year's training at HMS Ganges, and drafted to ‘Bermadoo' to make up the ship’s quota of Junior Seamen. Initially he lived a cocooned existence in the Juniors’ mess, with a community of cockroaches as his closest companions, but his life changed dramatically the day he transferred to the notorious For’d Seamen’s Mess. There, he grew up. In the course of his 34,000 nautical miles with Bermuda, he learned how to ammunition the ship, avoid Pompey Lil, sing the Oggie song, survive a storm, throw a perfect heaving line and count himself proud to be a ‘sharp-end seaman’. On his eighteenth birthday, the entire population of Hamilton, Bermuda, along with a uniformed band and full ceremonial, enthusiastically welcomed Peter and his ship; in Newcastle-upon-Tyne he was given the job of preventing women wearing skirts from descending a long open-backed ladder; in Stockholm he had a memorable dalliance with a local girl called Gunnel, and in Amsterdam a professional businesswoman at work in Canal Street was so impressed with his performance that, as he took his leave, she shook his hand warmly and gave him some of her business cards.
