Description First Edition. This collection of more than eighty stories has been drawn from a wide range of sources to cover every aspect of mankind's relationship with the sea. These are the accounts of great navigators, like Columbus and Drake, of humble fishermen and fierce sea battles. The hidden mystery of the depths is reflected in tales of monsters and ghost ships, while ancient legends tell of sea gods and lost islands. Among the many writers included are Homer and Conrad, Herman Melville and Jules Verne.
