Here is Alec Rose's own story which includes two heroinesLively Lady his boatand Dorothy his wife.He tells it in his own words and writes of his early daysfirst as a rather delicate youngsterand then of his ventures in market gardening and of how he took to the sea.He describes how he came to race single-handed across the Atlantic and how he gradually built up the plans towards his life's ambition of a voyage alone round Cape Horn. Sailing forth the first time on his single-handed circumnavigation of the world he was setback by a chapter of disasters but he doggedly carried on with his plan.He set out once more andafter weathering many galesand nearly being dismastedhis Lively Lady arrived safely in Melbourne.The yacht suffered damage again in the storms of the Southern Oceanso he turned into New Zealand for repairs before taking on the Horn itself.He goes on to tell of his voyage home from the Horn; when as day succeeded day he had been on his own at sea for five whole months since leaving New Zealandand 318 days at sea since leaving Portsmouth.He concludes with the enthusiastic and joyful welcome at Portsmouthand then in London where he and Dorothy went to lunch at Buckingham Palace and the Queen knighted him only a few days after his safe return.It is almost a fairy story of a man who inherited no financial wealth but achieved his life's ambition through his own effortswith no sponsorshipand became an inspiration to millions of people.Backing up Sir Alec's personal story comes Dorothy Rose's amusing description of life in their Southsea house and shop when Alec was away and of his knighthood on his return.Radio Officer Robertswho first heard the voice of Alec Rose as Lively Lady approached the Horn contributes a chapter.The region of the Horn is described by Michael Mason; and previous small craft voyages round the world and in the Roaring Forties are recorded by Erroll Bruce.The naval architect D. Phillips-Birt writes of the boat herself and "Blondie" Haslerwho designed the self-steering geardescribes how this works. 'My Lively Lady' is a story of adventure and determination written in Sir Alec's own direct and unassuming style which makes his experiences all the more vivid.

Produced with the co-operation of the National Maritime Museum HART-DAVIS describes the background to Spain's threat and England's triumphthe leading figures on both sidesthe shipsweapons and tactics before giving a graphichour-by-hour account of the battle itself. In the tragic aftermath hundreds of English sailors died of diseaseand ship-wrecked Spaniards were murdered by the thousand on the coast of Ireland. Exploding the popular myths that have grown up around this historic naval battle the author combines original documents with modern research to show where the secret of victory lay:in the fact that while Spain clung to outmoded methods of combatEnglandunder Howard and Drakeused her race-built galleons to deadly effect in an entirely new concept of war at sea.

The vision was clear:a trading route across the top of the worlda shipping lane north of America to the fabulous wealth and riches of Cathay.The way was unknownunmappedand its defences were formidable.But for centuries men were to argueto searchto suffer and to die in the attempt to trace this route that was known only as an ideaa mythologya potent name:the North-West Passage. The search led them into unsuspected terrorsinto seas and lands of a hostility beyond belief.Seas in which mountains of ice swing irresistibly; shores where towering cliffs of ice could entomb men and ships in their sudden thunderous collapse; lands so barren that it seemed nothing could endure but perpetual ice itself.But men did endure.The hardships were awesome.Expeditions whose vessels lay splintered fought their way back overlandscraping meagre lichen from the snowbound rocks chewing leatherfighting the beasts for carrionsurviving in cold so extreme that axe-heads shattered on trees frozen to granite.Against the elements at their most vicious they pitted human endurance and a ruthless ingenuity.In the teeth of disaster the search went on. Thomson tells the story of that searchfrom the birth of the idea to the final unexpected triumph.A panorama encompassing five centuriesthat lists immortal names - CABOT FROBISHER HUDSON ROSS CHAMPLAIN FRANKLIN PARRY and AMUNDSEN - in a saga of unequalled endurance.It is a story of feats of navigationof explorationof speculationof heroismof greedof survival.But above all it is the story of an idea that possessed the mind of man and outlived all the tragedies the torments and the ironies of the long quest.

Experts told Chay Blyth he was mad.No one would pay £15000 to be wetcold and hungryracing around the world in a yacht against the prevailing wind and currents.Within 48 hours of the British Steel Challenge being announced Blyth had confounded the sceptics.He was sold out three times over and had his 130 crew volunteers.But what of the 10 skippers he hired to drivecajole and coach the amateur helmsmen 28000 miles around the globe Although experienced racing sailors in their own rightthis small group were to be placed in a unique and taxing role.Half nannyhalf slavedrivereach skipper discovered the true loneliness of command. Vivien Cherry was the sole woman amongst the 10.At 32 she had a successful career as an environmental engineer and a background as a single-handed ocean racer when she signed up with the Challenge. Instantly her yachtCoopers & Lybrandbecame the focus of intense media attention.Each leg of the race presented its own difficulties - navigational and human.Stopovers often presented more dramas than the weeks at sea.And in mid-race Viv's own leg became a factor when she became immobilised with a damaged knee needing immediate surgery.By the finish line in the Solentthe race that started with doubts ended with a fanfare.Vivien's journey was both a part of that voyage and a compelling individual story of an unusual sailor in a unique situation.

McCUTCHAN PHILIP:

UKQrto HBdw/dj1st edn. FINE/NFINE.No owner inscrptnno price-clip to dw/djbut with two small nicks closed tears top edges dw/dj spine/ backstrip of dw/dj slightly faded.Qrto160pp includes biblioindex. Pictorial epsb/wcolour illus and photographs. The 19thC saw the great era of the tall ships when sailing ship performance reached its peak and designers produced their finest work. The book traces the history of the 'golden age of sail' - from the fast Baltimore packets of the earlier part of the century through the years of the glorious clippers which became the undisputed masters of all passenger and cargo ships.McCutchan explores the famous ships of this agehow the design of sailing ships evolved as well as some of the personalities behind them - the naval architects the discoverers the seamen and masters of ship-handling the passengers and the ship-owners who made their fortunes. Above all he describes the remarkable passages these ships took - the Far East trading routes the Australian passage the transatlantic emigrant trade the round-the-world voyages which meant weathering the Roaring Forties and the notoriously treacherous Cape Horn.By the time WW1 broke out sail was dead.The steamships which had threatened sail throughout its days of glory finally forged ahead as the preferred commercial vessels winning the best crews and the most profitable runs:and during the 1920's only a handful of windjammers sailed the seas most of them under Scandanavian ownership. But particularly after WW2 many countries - including England USA Russia Portugal Spain Denmark Sweden Norway Italy Chile Argentina Poland Germany and Rumania - began to maintain sail-training ships.This revival of interest springs from the knowledge that training under sail instils qualities of confidence self-reliance and leadership.

UK8vo HBdw/dj1st thus.VG/VG.Some minor repairs to few small nicks. Pictorial eps295pp includes notessources and an indexb/w photographs. On May 71915 at 2.28pm the great Cunarder LUSITANIA sank off the Old Head of Kinsale eighteen minutes after being torpedoed by German submarine U-20; 1201 men women and children died - many US citizens.The official version said this innocent passenger liner wantonly sunk by two or more torpedos in contravention of international agreements.Simpson discovered - the LUSITANIA's stated purpose in the event of war the real nature of her cargo and equipment about British Secret Service operations in US about the use and non-use of evidence at the subsequent British and American official enquiries - led to the writing of this explosive book.Tells in fascinating and circumstantial detail the story of LUSITANIA's construction her last voyage sinking and the aftermath viewed against a background of British naval policy US diplomacy and backstage governmental activities. For more than 50 years Lusitania's sinking proclaimed as an act of naked and brutal aggression against an innocent ship carrying citizens of a neutral country; this book shows beyond doubt that the true facts were deliberately concealed and shockingly different. <br />Please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk because of the weight/ value of this itemfor correctinsured shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!<br /> LONDON.BCA,1972. hardcover

Prince Philip foreword. In 'View from the Sea' an artist and a seaman have combined their talents and unique perspectives to take us on a tour round the English coastline.Richard Woodman has worked for Trinity House Service for many yearsservicing the lighthouseslightvessels and buoys that ensure the safety of English waters.David Smith is an artist who has painted subjects as different as industrial scenes and the glaciers and mountains of Antarctica.By the nature of their calling both seamen and artists develop unusually high powers of observation and out of this collaboration has come a superb portrait in words and pictures of the coast of England and Wales. The authors take as their focus the lighthouses and work of the Trinity House Service andstarting in the north-eastconduct us on a journey right round the shoreline from Berwick to Maryporttelling us about rock formation and erosion seabirds and plantscastles and hermits; describing the dangers that still confront sailors and lighthouse keepers and the horrors of industrial pollution; but at times toojust pausing to reflect on the sheer beauty of the view.The story of our lighthouses is steeped in legend and historyfrom the Farne Islandsthe scene of Grace Darling's heroic rescueto St Beesthe last lighthouse on the west coast named after an Irish princess who founded a nunnery on the same lonely headland.Many lighthouses were built only after some great seafaring tragedy. Others were the product of individual vision and determinationlike the light built on the notorious Eddystone Rock by the 17thC eccentricHenry Winstanley.Almost all of them have a story to tell.A highly informative and wonderfully evocative introduction to one of the most varied coastlines in the world.Richard Woodman also writes a series of historical novels set in the Napoleonic Wars.
