THE NAVAL APPRENTICE'S KEDGE ANCHOR OR YOUNG SAILOR'S ASSISTANT (2018 Paperback)

Description: THE NAVAL APPRENTICE'S KEDGE ANCHOR OR YOUNG SAILOR'S ASSISTANT (2018 Paperback) Facsimile reprint of the classic sailor's guide written by William Brady, Boatswain, U.S.N., and originally published in 1841. Excerpt from The Naval Apprentice's Kedge Anchor, or Young Sailor's Assistant: Dedicated to John Gallagher, Esq. Captain United States Navy; Appertaining to the Practical Evolutions of Seamanship, Rigging, Knotting, Splicing Blocks, Purchases, Running Rigging, and Other Miscellaneous Matters Applicable to Ships of War and Others Should it fall into the hands of the learned, they will bear in mind that he is better versed with the marlinspike than the pen, and that it-was composed in the hours of relaxation from Official duties. Review from another site:This book is a fantastic piece of history. The language is a bit awkward because of very strong jargon, but once you get used to it, this book has a ton of solid, practical information on manning obsolete naval vessels. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the Civil War era and prior, especially those who value authenticity. -- D.S. FREE SHIPPING TO DOMESTIC ADDRESSES!
