Synopsis
STRANGE SEA STORIES AND LEGENDS
FROM GHOST SHIPS AND CANNIBALS TO DASHING PIRATES AND MAN-EATING SHARKS TRUE-LIFE ADVENTURES AND INCREDIBLE LORE OF THE SEA
A WOMAN WHO DRANK HER LOVER'S BLOOD...
A "SUNKEN" SHIP THAT STILL SAILS THE STORMY SEAS...
A SAILOR WHO SURVIVED THREE OF THE WORST RECORDED MARITIME DISASTERS...
A MAN-EATING SHARK THAT TERRORIZED NEW JERSEY SHORES...
These are just a few of the amazing, documented cases included in this provocative collection of true-life experiences and colorful legends from around the world. Since seventy percent of the globe is covered by water, it is no wonder that the sea holds such fascination for mankind. Nor is it surprising that the human imagination has filled this realm with monstrous serpents, bizarre half-human beings, and countless unexpected perils. And as people began to sail around the world, real-life adventures, catastrophes, rescues and inexplicable encounters were added to the lore of the sea.
Now both myths and actual case histories have been brought together in a unique collection that even the most dedicated landlubber will find irresistible reading.
