Book excerpt: Just a Simple Seaman is a heartwarming story, initially of being brought up and schooled in post-war England with anecdotes of family life and childhood mischief. The book continues by recounting Andrew’s life after he left home at the age of sixteen seeking adventure on the high seas as an apprenticed navigation officer in the British Merchant Navy at a time when the Red Ensign was flown with pride on vessels in ports all over the world. The book relates his observations and experiences while sailing on cargo liners for the following four years – until he met the love of his life at a school reunion. It is a book of warmth, humour, poignancy and occasional sadness.

Book excerpt: "Just the sort of book one likes to find on a yacht's bookshelf between watches." - Classic Boat Magazine Set sail on a voyage of discovery of great nautical stories. These stories range from the Napoleonic wars, via ships that traded under sail round Cape Horn, to what it was like to take charge of a ship in Convoy, serve in the force-ends of a submarine or fly a Corsair against the Japanese. If you have seen WW1 picture of a ship in dazzle camouflage, there is a description of how it came about, and the Dunkirk evacuation is movingly depicted. Lastly there is Uffa Fox's airbone lifeboat: a real masterpiece of design, and what a man!
