Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mirror of the Sea Landfalls and Departure mark the rhythmical swing of a seaman´s life and of a ship´s career. From land to land is the most concise definition of a ship´s earthly fate. A "Departure" is not what a vain people of landsmen may think. The term "Landfall" is more easily understood; you fall in with the land, and it is a matter of a quick eye and of a clear atmosphere. The Departure is not the ship´s going away from her port any more than the Landfall can be looked upon as the synonyme of arrival. But there is this difference in the Departure: that the term does not imply so much a sea event as a definite act entailing a process - the precise observation of certain landmarks by means of the compass-card.
