Download or read book The Yachtsman's Pilot written by Martin Lawrence and published by Imray Laurie Norie & Wilson Limited. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Martin Lawrence's sailing directions for the North Sea coast from the Farne Islands to Cape Wrath has been thoroughly revised. The text and plans have been updated and corrected and the author has provided new photographs. On the East coast of Scotland there are a large number of ports providing varying degrees of shelter, and this pilot describes not only the well known destinations but also the many small and attractive harbours developed in the 18th and 19th centuries when the herring fisheries were flourishing. In each instance Martin Lawrence has provided a plan as well as aerial photographs to support the text. There is good coverage too of the harbours in the Firth of Forth including the access to the Fort and Clyde Canal at Grangemouth and also the entrance to the Caledonian Canal at Inverness. The pilot covers the exposed mainland coast of the Pentland Firth up to Cape Wrath from where Martin Lawrence's well known pilots for the West coast of Scotland take over. Martin Lawrence is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation. He is well known as the author of The Yachtman's Pilot series. He has contributed to Yachting Monthly and the yachting press in Scotland.
Download or read book The Wreckers written by Bella Bathurst and published by HMH. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “entertaining” historical investigation into the scavengers who have profited off the spoils of maritime disasters (The Washington Post). Even today, Britain’s coastline remains a dangerous place. It is an island soaked by four separate seas, with shifting sand banks to the east, veiled reefs to the west, powerful currents above, and the world’s busiest shipping channel below. The country’s offshore waters are strewn with shipwrecks—and for villagers scratching out an existence along Britain’s shores, those wrecks have been more than simply an act of God; in many cases, they have been the difference between living well and just getting by. Though Daphne du Maurier and Poldark have made Cornwall famous as Britain’s most notorious region for wrecking, many other coastal communities regarded the “sea’s bounty” as a way of providing themselves with everything from grapefruits to grand pianos. Some plunderers were held to be so skilled that they could strip a ship from stem to stern before the Coast Guard had even left port. Some were rumored to lure ships onto the rocks with false lights, and some simply waited for winter gales to do their work. This book uncovers tales of ships and shipwreck victims—from shoreline orgies so Dionysian that few participants survived the morning to humble homes fitted with silver candelabra, from coastlines rigged like stage sets to villages where everyone owns identical tennis shoes. Spanning three hundred years of history, The Wreckers examines the myths, realities, and superstitions of shipwrecks and uncovers the darker side of life on Britain’s shores. “Bathurst, who won a Somerset Maugham Award for The Lighthouse Stevensons, offers a spellbinding tale of seafaring men, their ships and the ocean that cares for neither.” —Publishers Weekly “A fascinating, haunting account of pillagers, plunderers, and pirates.” —John Burnett, author of Dangerous Waters: Modern Piracy and Terror on the High Seas

Book Synopsis The Unremembered Places by : Patrick Baker
Download or read book The Unremembered Places written by Patrick Baker and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the The Great Outdoors Awards – Outdoor Book of the Year 2020 Shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Literature 2020 There are strange relics hidden across Scotland's landscape: forgotten places that are touchstones to incredible stories and past lives which still resonate today. Yet why are so many of these 'wild histories' unnoticed and overlooked? And what can they tell us about our own modern identity? From the high mountain passes of an ancient droving route to a desolate moorland graveyard, from uninhabited post-industrial islands and Clearance villages to caves explored by early climbers and the mysterious strongholds of Christian missionaries, Patrick Baker makes a series of journeys on foot and by paddle. Along the way, he encounters Neolithic settlements, bizarre World War Two structures, evidence of illicit whisky production, sacred wells and Viking burial grounds. Combining a rich fusion of travelogue and historical narrative, he threads themes of geology, natural and social history, literature, and industry from the places he visits, discovering connections between people and place more powerful than can be imagined.
