The Grey Seas Under: The Perilous Rescue Mission of a N.A. Salvage Tug
Released in 1958 and 1961, respectively, these books are Mowat's  paean to tugboats of the North Atlantic. Though often  overlooked, these vessels have rescued thousands of stranded  ships from watery graves. Mowat proves that being a member of a  deep-water tug crew is one of the most dangerous jobs a sailor  can have during peacetime.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
