This is a great collection of "Epic Voyages in the Most Improbable Vessels" as the sub-title reads. Briefly previewing the tales of Slocum, Blackburn, Manry, Spiess, Guzzwell and many others, potential readers should be warned: This is a dangerous book. If you have the seed of voyaging-adventuring within you, even perusing this book can cause that seed to grow.
