Book Reviews of The Ocean Almanac
Book Review: A must for all on or near the sea. No boat can be w/o TOA.
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Hendrickson recounts events otherwise hard to find in print. This book should be on every sailor's shelf, whether he is a weekend yachtsman or makes his living from the sea. As the title indicates, this is a true almanac; it contains facts about the ocean itself, the atmosphere above the ocean, the terrain below the surface, the creatures it contains, and events and accomplishments man has attained while working and playing in and on her depths. I keep a copy at home, on every vessel I own, in my office, and with my dive gear at all times. I promise this is an informative text you won't want to put down...reads like a thriller from cover to cover. Good reading to you.
Summary of The Ocean Almanac
As expansive as the ocean itself, this entertaining, informative almanac offers hundreds of fascinating essays, anecdotes, facts, legends, and mysteries concerning the sea, its amazing inhabitants--both real and apocryphal--and the men and ships who have sailed it through the ages.Almanacs & Yearbooks
