Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outposts of the Fleet: Stories of the Merchant, Service in War and Peace How is this man recognized P He is not recognized at all. He is a sailor. The Church knows nothing of him except that annually it dispenses tracts, printed in block letters, to him and wonders at his stolid indifference. The State passes him by he is without repre sentation; practically cut of? From voting he cannot make himself heard. Thus the greatest race of sailor-men the world has ever seen is treated as a negligible quantity by the two great upholders of national dignity.

Excerpt: ... homeward with grain I i the sunrise squall "A man who would go to sea for pleasure, should go to hell for pastime."--Old Saying. Dawn on the confines of the South Pacific, and a sea marching with brazen crests to thrash the torn edges of the island with the inappropriate name--Tierra del Fuego. Dawn. The sky aflame, slashed with coppery wisps, a "dun bank of clouds grouped upon an horizon glowing like a brazier, and two ships under a heavy pressure of canvas drawing foam-tracks towards the dim cluster of rocks perched eerily at the end of the world which they must pass. Men call them the islands of Diego Ramirez, in memory of the adventurous navigator who discovered them; but they stand to the south of Tierra del Fuego, and are cold, bleak mountain peaks from which the softer terrain has been washed by the greybeards of Cape Horn. A sou'-west gale roared in the rigging of these two ships. Seas leaped upon them, sweeping their decks, hammering at them, even as they leaped upon the island with its granite outposts; but the ships moved onward, carrying grain for the British nation, as was their destiny. On the bow and under the stern of each was a name printed in white lettering--Manitou on this, Jugg rnau.t on that. Sometimes the legend appeared through the driving-spume, sometimes the spume smothered it, and it seemed, that the ships had melted into the giant rollers which battered them. Grey air, grey sea, grey sky, flecked and whipped with coppery ribbons of cloud, and out there the still pinnacles of Diego Ramirez, foam-clad, cold, to mock them. It was a point these two must pass before the driving could be eased. They came together at dawn. Two hours ago neither had been conscious of the other's presence; now men stood on deck and...

Book excerpt: in 1985 Simon Winchester, struck by a sudden need to discover exactly what was left of the British Empire, set out across the globe to visit the far-flung islands that are all that remain of what once made Britain great. He travelled 100,000 miles back and forth from Antarctica to the Caribbean, from Mediterranean to the Far East, to capture a last glint of imperial glory. His adventures in these distant and forgotten ends of the earth make compelling and often funny reading and tell a story most of us had thought was over: a tale of the last outposts in Britain's imperial career and of those who keep the flag flying. With a new introduction and additional material in many of the chapters, this revised edition tells us what happened to these extraordinary places while the author's been away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The occupation of San Juan Island by the Royal Marines between 1860 and 1872 marked the last time "redcoats" would be stationed in lands south of the 49th parallel. Following the nearly disastrous "Pig War" crisis, their primary mission with their U.S. Army counterparts was keeping the peace on an island considered ripe for the taking by Britons and Americans alike. Drawing on historical, archaeological and photographic research, Outpost of Empire offers an intriguing glimpse of a frontier garrison in the Victorian age. Mike Vouri is the San Juan National Park historian and author of The Pig War.
