Seller's Description:
Used: Acceptable. With over 200 miles of coastline, the fortunes of Wales are intimately connected to the sea. It has served as the highway for goods and people; a route to riches; the setting for cruelty and for selfless heroism. In an elegant and informative style Trevor Fishlock explores the history of Wales's relationship with the sea, from shipbuilding and seafaring to smuggling and emigration. Sailing in the schooner Kathleen & May, Fishlock meets captains and shipwrights, maritime historians and police officers, pilots and lifeboatmen. Uncovering tales of adventure, tragedy and some humour, he reveals a proud heritage, and a still vibrant present. Illustrated throughout in colour, this book will be enjoyed by old salts and armchair navigators alike. Writer and broadcaster Trevor Fishlock was staff correspondent of The Times in India and New York, and Moscow bureau chief for The Daily Telegraph. He has written books about Wales, India, America and Russia. 1-85411-360-7.
