Sailors and Their Ships

Rev. John Ellis
Price: CDN$14.95

Book Description
This book is a collection of stories gathered and put together as a result of a good deal of labour and research by the author who has made a valuable contribution to the history and archives of his province which until recent decades have been scanty. The tales are grim and poignant because they recount the ordeals of sailors whose lives have been spent wrestling with the cruel seas which lash the coasts of our island. There have always been and always will be tragedies at sea. It is impossible to anticipate the circumstances that can arise. Although much progress has been made in the design and biulding of ships of all kinds and scientific invention has made the navigation and control of vessles far more efficient and effective than ever before , the dangers of sea voyage are as real as they ever were. Paperback. 133 pages.
