This book is dedicated to those many sailors who went to sea in those small and fragile, yet workhorse greyhounds of the sea the "tin cans" and especially to those who gave all and remain at watch on the high seas.The book is a compilation of images and first-person accounts, providing a glimpse of what it was like living at sea, often in hostile environments -- both natural for manmade -- and for extended periods of time.The book is a glimpse into the past a look at the present and a taste of the future.The book serves a variety of readers:*If you served on these ships especially in time of war - to give you a renewed sense of patriotic contribution to a nation you love.*If you are family of those sailors -- A mother or father left behind *A grandmother or grandfather left behind A wife left behind.*A son or daughter or a grandchild who wonders... what did dad or grandpa do during the war? what was it like?*A brother or sister left behind.*A good friend left behind*If you are today's sailor seeking a legacy for your service.*If you are just the naturally curious type... curious about tough and monumental times in history - times that changed the course of history.Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; they saw the great deeds of the Lord, His wondrous works in the deep. For He commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
