Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Little Book of Naval Wisdom It is held to be in the natural order of things for the British seaman to do rather than to say. For centuries he has been accomplishing mighty tasks without making much fuss about it. That is his habit. We land creatures take his work for granted in much the same way as the minutes of the previous meeting are ´taken as read.´ That is our habit. The following pages may help toward a truer appreciation of our sea heritage, and serve as a reminder of the incalculable debt due to the officers and men who work our ships, carry our soldiers, guard our coasts, and keep the links of Empire intact - in a word, hold Britain where she is. The obiter dicta of many generations of sailors have been resurrected, for the most part, from sources not readily accessible to the general public.
