Maritime List 351 – “I must go down to the seas again”
October 2, 2024Sea-Fever
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by…
Thanks, Mr. Masefield. I feel you. In my case, however, I must get down to business again. All I ask is books about the sea rather than the sea herself, and a few good customers to steer them toward. It’s been fun rooting around in my shipping container full of every sort of book (image here of Scrooge McDuck in his money bin) except maritime. But now it’s time to get back to what we’re supposed to be doing here, and resume the acquisition and sales of wet books. Fortunately, a wonderful collection centering around the War of 1812 just came in, and I’m offering it fresh to the market in List 351. To access this list, just click on the image or the blue letters above.
