The Mariner’s Library

I found this little anthology of sailing stories over the weekend and decided to give it a shot.
I want you to consider that each story is written by a sailor just like you, who experienced something so unique in their sailing career, that they felt compelled to put it on paper and share it. What would it take for you to do the same? Probably quite a lot!
These stories, like all the rest in the Mariner's Library are a fantastic window through time to a group of people you would no doubt love to have aboard one evening to share a drink with; That's not possible now, but through these stories their experiences remain to teach and entertain, and we can still have a laugh (or a shudder!) with these fellow rovers  100 years later. How awesome it that?

John Masefield's beautiful poem 'Sea Fever' has already inspired a few generations of sailors.
With it's rallying call of; 'Take me down to the sea...', anyone with even a drop of saltwater in their veins can almost feel the wind on their face by the end of the iconic first stanza, but did you know Masefield's love affair with the sea goes much further than 'just' poetry?
Masefield sailed and wrote extensively about the sea and none of his works is less known than, 'The Taking of the Gry' making this story an excellent option for the Mariner's Library- with this quality of authorship behind the pen- we know we are going to have an authentic maritime experience and this time it's a heist, and a grand one at that! The taking of an enemies prize ship- from the very harbour it is secured in!
I really enjoyed reading this wonderful (and short!) book, and I hope, like me, you appreciate getting to hear this forgotten tome from the hand of a master.
