This volume contains a collection of classic articles on the subject of boating and yachting, with information on signalling, Morse Code, flags, and many other related aspects. Highly accessible and full of invaluable information, these articles are highly recommended for those with little previous experience, and would make for worthy additions to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "A Junior Teach Yourself Book - Sailing and Small Boats for Boys and Girls", "Sailing In a Nutshell - A Treatise in a Small Compass (Mariner's) on the Sea and How to Sail About It", "The Boatman's Manual - A Complete Manual of Boat Handling, Operation, Maintenance and Seamanship", and "The Deck and Boat Book of the United States". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of boating.
