Overview

From Mr. Clark Russell: This little volume is the fruits of an occasional spell of leisure. It is offered to the public because many might be glad to possess a cheap book of convenient size that would enable them to satisfy themselves without trouble about the meaning of nautical words often met with, but not always intelligible. I do not pretend that it is exhaustive---scores of words of which I may never have heard, are no doubt wanting; nor will I affirm that every term is accurately defined, though I have done my best to be exact. The Publisher is pleased to be able to offer this new edition of William Clark Russell's 1883 A-Z listing of sea-terms. It is hoped that the book will enhance the reader's enjoyment of Mr. Clark Russell's many fine seafaring stories. This edition includes an appendix with drawings of a ship's sails and four types of ships defined in this book.
