This volume contains a collection of classic articles on the subject of
boating and yachting, with information on signalling, Morse Code, flags,
and many other related aspects. Highly accessible and full of invaluable
information, these articles are highly recommended for those with little
previous experience, and would make for worthy additions to collections
of allied literature. Contents include: "A Junior Teach Yourself Book -
Sailing and Small Boats for Boys and Girls", "Sailing In a Nutshell - A
Treatise in a Small Compass (Mariner's) on the Sea and How to Sail About
It", "The Boatman's Manual - A Complete Manual of Boat Handling,
Operation, Maintenance and Seamanship", and "The Deck and Boat Book of
the United States". Many vintage books such as this are becoming
increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now
in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially
commissioned new introduction on the history of boating.
