SELKIRK'S ISLAND

Book Number: 60339
ISBN: 0753813343
Publisher: Weidenfeld and Nicholson 2001
8vo softcover 239pp index, b/w illus. very good . Selkirk was a pirate and a buccaneer who sailed on the South Seas on looting expeditions for gold and treasure. In 1703 he joined an expedition whose object was to plunder French and Spanish ships. Conditions on the ship were appalling; scurvy, dysentery and typhus flourished and most of the crew died or went mad. Eventually they reached the island of Juan Fernandez 400 miles off the coast of Chile where Selkirk opted to maroon himself. Suddenly solitude and silence were imposed and his only relationship was to the island and to himself. He learnt to kill goats with cudgels and use their skins for coats and shoes. He hollowed out a canoe and circumnavigated the island. He wished there were a woman on the island, but perhaps he used the goats he had tamed for his sexual satisfaction. Gradually he found that company was not essential and that he was the Governor of this island, afraid of nothing it contained.

Around the World Rally
Cornell, Jimmy
Book Number: 26303
ISBN: 0713636904
Publisher: Adlard Coles Nautical, 1993
8vo softcover 208pp index, b/w illus. very good. This book provides an analysis of the way in which 36 different cruising boats, their equipment and their crews performed during 16 months and 24,000 miles of tough ocean sailing. Europa 92, the first round the world rally for cruising boats, brought together these yachts in an event which visited 18 countries, covering between them over 600,000 miles. This international fleet, ranging from 40 to 72 feet, formed a cross-section of current cruising boat design, and both boats and crews were well tried and tested during their voyage around the world. This book gives an insight into the successes and failures experienced by the participants. Divided into sections covering all aspects of cruising from equipment, instruments, sails and maintenance to provisioning, navigation and watchkeeping, its conclusions offer lessons to any sailor, whether cruising in home water or planning a circumnavigation.

Myth, Fact, and Navigators' Secrets: Incredible Tales of the Sea and Sailors
Dill, J. Gregory
Book Number: 49042
ISBN: 1592288790
Publisher: The Lyons Press 2006
8vo softcover 209pp, b/w illus. very good. After culling little-known facts from the world's nautical heritage, author J. Gregory Dill has written an engaging series of marine stories-like the 1813 account of a short and bloody sea duel between the U.S. frigate Chesapeake and His Britannic Majesty's Ship Shannon, equally matched in firepower and their captains' tactical skills, but in the final analysis having absolutely no strategic significance in the war's outcome. Then there is the bizarre tale of Captain John Paul Jones's 1779 naval raid on a Scottish coastal estate to kidnap the local VIP, Lord Selkirk, in a bid to win release of American prisoners of war. When Selkirk was found to be away, Jones seized instead his intended victim's household silverware, including teapots and sugar bowls, after having politely declined Lady Selkirk's kind invitation to dinner.
