A lovely book, beautifully illustrated and with a huge amount of fascinating story and information. A superb one to dip into, I've enjoyed reading it cover to cover. Jane Ussher's photography wonderfully communicates the maritime aesthetic (which I love so much), our connection to the sea as a nation and the distinct fibres woven into our cultural heritage.
