Article Articles [Contains amendments to other regulations]. However, I was disturbed by the author's selection of post-war incidents on the Santa Ynez -- it seemed most included drunken seamen.
Jim Whalen interviewed fourteen men and one woman regarding their experiences as officers on U. Their experience at sea ranged from an old timer who first went to sea on a sailing ship in , to those from the "now generation" sailing on container ships. Some of the mariners sailed during World War II, and Whalen includes their tales of enemy attack from bombers and U-boats in the Mediterranean and on the run to Murmansk, but most of the book is devoted to peacetime episodes of life at sea. First trips, storms, fires, collisions, unusual and amusing incidents are just some of the themes.
My guess is that this is Whalen's first book, and it's a pretty good effort. There's something enjoyable for everyone in this book. Glencannon Press, Glencannon Press.
The Liberty Ships from A to Z is an outstanding book, a true encyclopedia of the Liberty ship, its design, construction, statistics, and problems. Did you realize more Libertys lost their propellers than developed cracks? Following the introductory chapters, the book lists every Liberty ship, grouped into categories such as World War II losses, ships scrapped from the "mothball fleet," military operated, artificial fish reefs, etc.
Jaffe pulled information from countless government documents and worldwide sources. There are over photographs and many diagrams among the book's pages.

Good books, or for that matter any books, about American merchant seamen are in short order, particularly these days when the bookshelves are filled with volumes about other endangered species. With the virtual disappearance of the oceangoing United States merchant marine, it would take a writer like John McPhee, who worries about things being lost to a bewilderingly voracious technology, to tackle the subject His vehicle is the Stella Lykes, a foot elongated Lykes Brothers Steamship Company freighter, which he joined at the suggestion of his friend He and the ship are off on a day voyage to the west coast of South America from Charleston, S.
By the time he and we have debarked, we have come to know the crewmen and the routine aboard a modern cargo ship But there are reminders that all these are mere frills of a calling that routinely is at the mercy of weather and wave, with collision and shipboard accident always waiting, just off the starboard beam, with sinkings and vanishings still a possibility in seas that are more untracked than they might appear on a land-based computer screen.
And on some runs, there are still pirates. But worst of all, for those who make their living at it,there are virtually no ships, or that was the case when Mr. McPhee wrote his book, before the Persian Gulf crisis created a demand for mariners. In the book, seafarers tensely wait for their number to come up in the hiring hall for a ship or a run they want; some unions won't allow their members to ship out for more than six months a year to insure that all hands get a chance at a job. The average age of the Stella Lykes's 32 crewmen is 51, and the captain sums up the situation: He's a romantic, even in the most casual, laconic way, and you can tell he dotes on talk of pirates, on the mention of strange ports and especially on those yarns that seamen spin.
Style is what Mr. McPhee is loaded down to the Plimsoll marks in: Those who sail the Stella Lykes are a competent, highly individual cast of characters, starting with the captain, a great-grandfather who might have been created by the people who coined the word "feisty. McPhee's own cruise through the pages is not a simple here-to-there affair. The chapters do not sail as does the ship from one point to another; each picks up at a different position and tackles a different aspect of maritime living.
Even within chapters, one topic leads to another, sometimes without any notice.
How can I view the records covered in this guide?
It is a charming sort of garrulity and puts one in mind of a most articulate old sea dog who has swallowed the anchor and sits on a waterfront bollard telling his lubberly acquaintances about what happens out there, just on the other side of the horizon. This slim volume of pages is packed full of interesting photos, stories and commentary about the beginnings of the great wartime effort to build ships "for victory. In Sausalito, California, residents of Pine Hill, a small peninsula on the Northern end of San Francisco Bay were given two weeks to leave their homes.
Within 9 months, the hill had been leveled and 20, workers employed by W. Bechtel were building the first of 93 ships. Marinship built 15 Liberty and 78 T-2 tankers, including the famous "Mission" tankers. The shipyard delivered its last ship in October , and was decommissioned in May The book examines race and social relations at the yard: Gerald Reminick's book is a collection of mostly first-person accounts with added background material to put the incidents in context. Reminick's extensive bibliography shows he put a lot of work into this book.
He organized his book in logical fashion: Nearly every chapter includes poems by Ian A. Millar related to the topic of the chapter. It's a good concept and the stories are very interesting. Unfortunately, Reminick lacked a good editor. I got a bit confused right in the first chapter. I had trouble keeping track of who was telling the story as the account switched from an enemy submarine, a torpedoed British ship, and an American rescue ship.
A number of stories are based on diaries kept by mariners and include much too much of: A good editor also would have caught mistakes such as the Soviet Union fighting at the "Western Front. Reminick followed up his first volume of stories he collected from World War II mariners, with a second volume. The stories in this one are arranged mostly by region -- North Atlantic, Pacific, Northern Russia, plus the Merchant Marine Academy, tankers, storms and the like. These are all genuine "first person" stories, not "recycled" from old books. This book is a great improvement over Reminick's first volume.
This time Reminick was not afraid to edit out the mundane from articles submitted by old salts, so the book reads well. Keith Wilbur, Old Saybrook, Connecticut: The Globe Pequot Press, , I was quite surprised upon opening this book to discover I knew it well as, "Picture Book of the Revolution's Privateers," found at our local library. I guess the old title wasn't sexy enough for the MTV generation and someone decided to rename it. Fortunately, the publisher only changed the cover and nothing else, for this is a wonderful book for both adults and children. Doctor Wilbur must have wonderful hands -- his pen and ink illustrations are superb!
There are several illustrations on each page, mostly based on museum artifacts. Shipbuilding, battle tactics, daily life at sea, prison life, financial rewards, navigation, waterproofing of clothing, are just some of the topics -- all meticulously researched, and explained through diagrams and sketches. This book could have been named "Everything you want to know about privateers.
What does it help to know before I start?
Time Magazine said, "This nautical encyclopedia is a working wonder not to be missed by anyone who cares about the sea. Checks or money orders only. The book is soft cover, 96 pages. Please make payment to: Available from Barnes and Noble. Release of this book was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Korean War and one of its most dramatic episodes -- the evacuation of Hungnam. Gilbert gives a good accounting of the outbreak of the war, the invasion of Inchon, and the U. He follows the troops and individuals Koreans as they flee towards Hungnam where merchant and navy ships await them.
That episode is well described through the eyes of Koreans, two members of the crew, and General Alexander Haig Jr. Gilbert also quotes from previous interviews and statements by the late Captain Leonard La Rue.
At times it's obvious that the author filled in space with "background" to stretch the book to pages, but that's a minor annoyance. The story of "the greatest rescue operation by a single ship in the history of mankind" is compelling and well worth reading. Clark, Kings Point, New York: American Merchant Marine Museum, Available from Xlibris , Amazon. The book is not just a memoir -- it's a lesson in history geography, local customs and navigation, because Clark annotates his voyages with brief explanations about the discovery of an island, the island's geography, climate, etc.
He explains the war situation at that point in time, which helps us understand why his ship is going somewhere. There's never too much explanation to get in the way of the main story, and it adds plenty of flavor. Clark seems to have acquaintances, mostly young women, in every port, so we get a glimpse of wartime civilian life in San Francisco, Wellington NZ, Melbourne, AU, etc. Clark received his training in the Cadet Corps, class of This book is aptly named for it retells the wartime sea stories of 20 men: The variety of writing styles makes for easy reading.
Editor Pete Peterson sets the stage for the reader by explaining a little about Liberty Ships, their crew makeup, the duties of each member of the crew, and the role of the Naval Armed Guard. The stories are laid out in a simple format: Even for someone who has read extensively about the Merchant Marine during World War II, the stories, although they are all too familiar -- U-boats, torpedoes, minefields, lifeboats, pack ice, gales, hazards of convoy -- are fascinatingly well told.
Once I figured out the format, I found myself peeking ahead before I read the story, to see if the fellow spent the next 45 years at sea, or got out quickly. These mariner's stories transmit a sense of amazement at their own youthful courage , and great pride in their accomplishments. There are humorous stories of mis-adventures at sea, and tragic tales, such as hearing Tokyo Rose broadcast that your ship will be bombed tomorrow.
My one small complaint about the book is the presence of typographical errors, probably caused by over-reliance on a spell-checker. I hope each and every mariner writes down his story in similar fashion at least for the benefit of his or her family, his town's historical society, or a Merchant Marine newsletter. The Scout movement also took him away camping to many places he would not otherwise have visited and taught him many useful skills.
In he joined the Merchant Navy as an Apprentice, although his ships were bombed, mined, torpedoed, and lost in collision he remained at sea and in due course obtained his Masters Certificate. Between the wars he served long periods in the Far East, also suffered, as with many others at that time, unemployment and the subsequent financial hardship. As Master during the 2nd World War his tanker was the first to be bombed from the air. In March his ship was sunk by a German Raider, Captain Algar and his crew were captured and shipped to Germany where they spent the next four years as Prisoners of War.
He still managed to keep his diaries recording his life in the POW camp. He Crossed the Bar in June aged The authors royalties will be given to the Red Cross, without whose food parcels many British prisoners might have starved to death. His ship the T.
