Reviews

[Vicki · Rating 5 out of 5]

These books are so interesting and full of unusual details that you walk away really understanding the people that make their living on the sea. I love history and this certainly gave me so much to enjoy. I love the first hand accounts and the stories that bring it to life. The short stories were perfect for reading before bed. I kept staying awake to read more. This is just a wonderful collection. I love the tall tales. There must be a ring of truth in them to live so long. This is a great book of historic memories, information and fun. It is just a fun read. Wonderfully written as always. I can tell that Ken Rossignol is one heck of a story teller. He keeps me interested no matter what the subject. Since I am an ocean lover and a ship lover, this collection has me covered.

These books are really, really interesting especially if you are a history buff. They are chock full of history and make you understand the people who make a living on the sea. Since they are short stories you don't get board and want to read the next one when you have a limited amount of time. Thank you Ken and the rest of the authors for an enjoyable read.
