Description: "Sailor gathers from private collections over 150 never-before-published snapshots and portraits spanning more than a century of maritime experience. The photographs in this book give us close-up glimpses of a larger-than-life figure.".

"For lovers of old photographs and serious collectors, for those with nostalgic memories of navy days and for anyone who has ever daydreamed of a sailor's life on the high seas - this is a must-have volume. The images comprise a unique record of youthful exuberance and masculine camaraderie, intriguing as artifacts and occasionally breathtaking in visual beauty. In their intimacy they provide a fascinating and very human window on a mythic past."--BOOK JACKET.
