“A Man and his Ship” by Steven Ujifusa about the SS United States and William Gibbs the Nav Arq behind it. I have seen the ship moored up in Philly.
“Sea spray and Whiskey” funny read about a tramp steamer.
David Balboulene wrote two books about his adventures as a Cadet in the British Merchant Navy in the seventies or eighty’s. They were hilarious in my opinion. “Ocean Boulevard” & “Jumping Ships”.
Happy Holidays
