Book Synopsis A Ship Without A Sail by : Gary Marmorstein
Download or read book A Ship Without A Sail written by Gary Marmorstein and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorenz Hart, together with Richard Rodgers, created some of the most beautiful and witty songs ever written. Here is the story of the strikingly unromantic life of this songwriting genius. His lyrics spin with brilliance and sophistication, yet at their core is an unmistakable wistfulness. Rodgers and Hart, who wrote approximately thirty Broadway musicals and dozens of songs for Hollywood films, were an odd couple. Rodgers was precise, punctual, heterosexual, handsome, and eager to be accepted by society. Hart was barely five feet tall, alcoholic, homosexual, and more comfortable in a bar or restaurant than anywhere else. His lyrics are all the more remarkable considering that he never sustained a romantic relationship, living his entire life with his mother, who died only months before his own death at 48. Biographer Marmorstein superbly portrays the life of this exuberant yet troubled artist.--From publisher description.

Book Synopsis Sailor Without a Boat by : Robert Bériault
Download or read book Sailor Without a Boat written by Robert Bériault and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the sailing adventures of Robert Beriault, when at the age of 57, he joins a sailing club for lessons and soon becomes an instructor. He dreams of sailing around the world and adopts the strategy of going at it one ocean at a time. Part travelogue and part sailing primer, Sailor Without a Boat tells the true story of how Robert chases after his dream. Candid, humorous advice is interspersed with hilarious tales from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as he recounts the idiosyncrasies of his skippers and fellow sailors. Among his many adventures, Robert crews for a reckless captain who pushes boat and crew beyond safety limits during a 3600-kilometre offshore passage. Searching the Internet for a transatlantic crossing, he almost sets out to sea with a Captain Bligh before jumping ship. Enjoying such places as the Caribbean and Cuba's stunningly beautiful Gardens of the Queen, Robert is boarded by gun-toting pirates; almost experiences an exploding yacht at sea; is embroiled in steamy soap operas; is medevaced by horse from the Guatemalan jungle; and fights 30-foot seas when crossing the Atlantic with Canada's sailing legend Derek Hatfield. All this, without ever having bought a boat!"

Eager to reach his destination and unable to secure any other form of transport, he had to resort to singlehanded seamanship. After an ignominious scene in the harbor, where a tangled anchor led him to take an early dip, he spent ten days learning the rudiments of navigation and sailing from a book, before embarking on the 9,000 mile journey aboard the 20-foot Pagan. Ahead lay a mission that was to reveal in him elements not only of astounding courage and determination, but also of incredible foolhardiness. Within 500 miles of Panama John Caldwell had already been shipwrecked once and had his boat's engine and cockpit destroyed by an angry shark. Indefatigable, he decided to press on towards his goal.He endured the terrors and discomforts of life on the high seas and enjoyed the triumphs of fighting and winning against the elements. This is more than an exciting tale of sea-adventure. It is as compelling and unpredictable as a thriller. It is the story, witty and moving, of a man, motivated initially by love, and ultimately by his own fierce determination to survive.

Book Synopsis Ships That Sail No More by : Giles T. Brown
Download or read book Ships That Sail No More written by Giles T. Brown and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chronicle of coastal shipping in the western United States forms an important but hitherto neglected part of the history of transportation in America. From the beginning the seaways were a vital link among the developing West Coast settlements, and even after the completion of a north-south rail line sturdy steamers continued to serve as the major carriers of freight and passengers along the Pacific Coast and as the chief economic and cultural contact of this region with the rest of America. Here, Giles T. Brown surveys this transportation system at the height of its activity and in particular he traces the history of the Admiral Line which dominated West Coast shipping during the early decades of the twentieth century—and whose decline mirrored that of the industry.

Download or read book Maritime Mail written by June D. Tower and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When June Kellet was only 15 she fell in love with a young naval officer and over the next four years they were to live their lives through letters and brief stays, when John had leave ashore. The letters, now held in the archives of the Cairn Library of the National Maritime Museum are considered by the then Curator of Manuscripts as being, ' - very important - to naval historians - they stand, still, as our most important collection from the mid-twentieth century.' In this journal June Towers shares with us some of the letters which portray the lives of two young people - a junior naval officer and a schoolgirl of 16 years of age - their every day lives, family and friends, dreams, hope and above all love. The letters contained within the book start in October of 1946 and cover a period of four years - the final entry being 29th November 1950. They married in April 1950 but married life was short lived as tragedy hit a year later, the day after their first wedding anniversary. June was 20 years old. There has been much debate about the submarine the HMS Affray - still considered to be one of the Royal Navy's worst peacetime disasters.
