Originally published in 1942 and reisued as a commemorative edition to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of its publisher, (this is) not only fascinating but most informative and whilst a number of things have changed, one thing that hasn't changed -- and never will -- is the sea itself....What gives credibility to the book is that one of the joint authors ... was an officer on the Robin Moor, the first American vessel sunk by a Nazi torpedo .... Lessons could certainly be learned from this experience and many of those lessons are still valid today. -- Safety at SeaA perfect christening gift for the new boat owner

Based on interviews with the crew and captain of a torpedoed tanker who survived nineteen days in a lifeboat in heavy seas and scorching tropical sunthis information is incredibly useful even today.    How to Abandon Ship was written during World War II to save the lives of seamen by instilling a commonsense, organized, no-panic clarity to getting off torpedoed ships safely and, perhaps more importantly, surviving later. It is a gem that can once again be used to save lives.Former schooner captain and author Twain Braden updates this solid and useful advice with a foreword addressing today’s technology. Braden used How to Abandon Ship to teach crewmembers fifty years after it was written while sailing the rugged and dangerous Maine coast. The writing in How to Abandon Ship is so clear  it has been used in college English composition classes. You will find vivid and pertinent information on everything from medical emergencies, thirst, and hunger to weather and morale.It pulls no punches, and its advice is strident but useful. In the words of the authors: This manual is concerned solely with human lives. Its purpose is to aid you to get off a sinking ship and to eventual safety in the best condition possible.” Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sportsbooks about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.
