Shackleton's Boat Journey
Source: Amazon
Author: Frank Arthur Worsley
- From an Amazon reader: "There are longer and 'prettier' books out there of this amazing tale, most of which I own, but for me, it all started with Frank Worsley's little book. None read as fine as his. ... I am rarely 'goosebumped' by any author but Worsley finds a way. I've only read it once but it is 'dog-eared' beyond belief thanks to all the friends I have passed it on to!" (1998)

Two Years Before the Mast: A Personal Narrative
Source: Amazon
Author: Richard Henry Dana, Jr.
City: Boston, State: MA
- From an Amazon reader: "After finishing this book, I am amazed that this book is not more prominent in famous literature. Much of US and sailing history can be learned through this true firsthand account of a Harvard student gone temporary salty dog. I am not from California or even the west coast but still found the stories contained throughout the book fascinating. Dana did an excellent job of describing the life at sea in the early 1800's without a moment of boring reading. I would recommend (and have been recommending) this book to anyone and everyone."

The Making of a Sailor, or Sea Life Aboard a Yankee Square-Rigger
Source: Amazon
Author: Frederick Pease Harlow
State: MA
- From an Amazon reader: "This is the best description of the hard life of an American sailor in the 1870s. Harlow, from New England, describes his first coastal voyage on a schooner, down the coast and up the Chesapeake and the Potomac. Then he tells of his long voyage to Australia on a square rigger. The book is fascinating and easy to read even if you don't fully understand all the nautical terms. It is well documented with sea chanteys, pictures and explanatory footnotes." (1988)
