NO PORT IN A STORM
MacAlindin, Bob
1997 PB. 160 pages. Liberally illust
ISBN 1-870325-37-0
The ships of this book evoke none of the usual romantic images of ships, and yet may be the nobelest of all. Invaribly
painted a gaudy red, no other, ships spent more time at sea and yet sailed fewer miles, their crews compelled to scan the
same water and stretch of coastline for the bulk of their working lives. The life of a lightshipman in a hurricane was
a sleepless nightmare of holding on, body braced against every combination, of rolling/pitching, with tons of water
burying the ship. This book describes 18 factual adventures from many countries including America, , Denmark, Ireland,
Canada, England, Holland, Scotland, Australia and Belgium, giving vivid accounts of life aboard and the many hazards and disasters, that occured. Price $23.95 plus S/H

SHIPS: From The Archives of Harland & Wolff The Builder of The Titantic
McCluskie, Tom
1998.HC. 160 pages. ( 11 ½” X 10”) Index of 150 ships/delivery date/Owners/Yard No. ISBN 0-7858-0949-X
Taken from the archives of Harland & Wolff, one of the world’s most enduring and respected shipbuilding companies,
Ships presents a selection of elegant designs. During an era in which steam propulsion was still in its infancy, many of
these historic illustrations depict the tentative crossover to the new technology, incorporating the fine lines and slender
hull shape of the traditional sailing vessel with the power of the new engines. While steam was intended to be the main
source of motive power, the addition of sails provided an alternative and trusted method of propulsion should this
“new-fangled” steam engine fail to live up to its expectations. This unique account is both a fascinating historic
document and a superb expression of the shipbuilder’s love of seagoing craft. Price $39.95 + S/H
