Product Description
Are you clewed-up about all those expressions that so enrich the language of sailors – not to mention the landlubbers who have Shanghaied their vocabulary? Do you know Captain Setab’s Second Law of Dynamics, or why timbers shiver, even in horse latitudes, where a brass monkey has nothing to fear? This little book, chock-a-block with the wit and wisdom of a Captain who came up through the hawse pipe to command one of the most famous vessels afloat, gives you the whole nine yards.

Funny, interesting and informative February 11, 2006
This book is great. It is funny, interesting and very informative. I never knew so many of our everyday phrases and termology dirived their origins from our sea faring history. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I would highly recommend it.
