Skibe og både: for alment interesserede

Under sejl fortæller historien om de danske langfarter i sejlskibenes tid. Både de dramatiske med mytteri, slaveoprør, sygdom og forlis og dem, hvor det meste gik som planlagt: hårdt arbejde, kummerlige forhold og lasten fuld af værdifuldt gods på vejen hjem. De allerlængste sørejser fra begyndelsen af 1600-tallet til midt i 1800-tallet gik oftest til de danske tropekolonier – Trankebar, Guldkysten og De Vestindiske Øer – eller til Kina og Sydamerika. Under sejl giver for første gang en samlet fremstilling af langfarterne under dansk flag, hvor handelsflådens største skibe var hjemmefra i flere år ad gangen. Bogen fortæller om navigation, mandskaber, forplejning, justits og kvinder, og den følger udviklingen i sejlruter og sejltider. Man kommer tæt på sømændene, fra små skibsdrenge til erfarne kaptajner. Erik Gøbel (f. 1949), historiker og seniorforsker i Rigsarkivet i København 1981-2017. Erik Gøbel er forfatter til en lang række artikler og bøger om søfartens og tropekoloniernes historie og har i en årrække været et af de store navne inden for dansk søfartshistorie.

Den danske admiral Niels Juels motto, nec temere, nec timide (“hverken ubesindig ellerfrygtsom”), har siden 1700-tallet stået som ledetråd for søofficererne i den danske flåde. Som skibschef har søofficeren ansvaret for skib og besætning, og mangt en skibschef har igennem tiden måtte træffe beslutninger, der kunne betyde liv eller død for dem selv og deres besætning.Hverken ubesindig eller frygtsom fortæller 11 dramatiske beretninger fra Flådens virke. Fra kampen mod algeriske korsarer i 1700-tallet over krigene i 1848-51 og 1864 til 2. Verdenskrig og vor tids indsatser mod pirater ved Afrikas Horn. Det er beretningen om de søofficerer og orlogsgaster, der ofte fjernt fra Danmark gennem tiderne har gjort deres bedste for at udføre ordrer fra kongen eller Danmarks regering. Med deres egne ord fortæller de, hvordan de oplevede kampene på kanondækket, på broen, i riggen og i maskinrummet.Bogen er illustreret med over 200 billeder, hvoraf mange ikke tidligere har været offentliggjort.

En mand og en kvinde, med hver deres meget forskellige tilgang til det at sejle, sejler på fire måneder rundt om England i en meget lille sejlbåd med deres to halvstore børn. Manden faldt i gryden som barn, og elsker livet på havet som livet selv. Kvinden finder det som udgangspunkt kedeligt, vådt og koldt. Børnene vil hellere være hjemme hos deres kammerater. Det kan vel næsten kun gå galt?Det bliver et eventyrligt og tankevækkende natur- og kulturmøde, en maritim udfordring, et socialt eksperiment - og først og fremmest en afprøvning af, hvad der er muligt i mødet mellem den feminine længsel efter kærlighed og den maskuline længsel efter frihed.Mads Bo Falk er klassisk uddannet violinist og dirigent, men har i mange år i lige så høj grad arbejdet som forfatter, blogger,foredragsholder, virksomhedskonsulent og som terapeut og coach i Frihed Nu!

Med fornøden dristighed. Ordene er tilskrevet den danske søhelt Peter Wessel Tordenskiold, der under Store Nordiske Krig 1709-1720 viste, at han ikke var bange for at tage chancer, når han mødte fjenden.Bag begrebet ”fornøden dristighed” ligger den filosofi, at vil man vinde i krig, så kræver det en aggressiv og offensiv holdning. Skibschefen skal balancere ansvaret for skib og mandskab op mod gennemførelsen af den pålagte ordre, og Søværnets historie har mange eksempler på situationer, hvor skibschefer, befalingsmænd eller gaster har udvist en fornøden dristighed.Flådens historie har dog også eksempler på det modsatte, og Med fornøden dristighed samler 12 af disse dramatiske beretninger. Fra linjeskibet Dannebroges eksplosion i Køge Bugt i 1710 over krigen 1864 til 1. og 2. Verdenskrig og vor tids indsatser for at redde søfolk i nød. Hermed føjes flere spændende historier til beretningerne om flådens virke i Søren Nørbys tidligere bog Hverken ubesindig eller frygtsom.

Skivserne Hamp, Klamp og Rusk sejler ud i verden på sejlskibet "Håbet" sammen med kaptajn Ruf. Ruf mener ikke, de kan være til megen hjælp, for de ser så små og ubetydelige ud. Men skivserne kan udrette de mest utrolige ting! De kan for eksempel få et skib til at sejle, når det er vindstille og redde det i stormvejr.Skovserne er et lille folk af små væsner, der lever dybt inde i skoven. De kommer kun frem om natten og lever af duggen fra den rødkål, der vokser ved et lille hus i skovens udkant. Carl Frederik Gardes historier om skovserne handler om natur, om fællesskab og om at være modig, selvom man er bange. Eventyret om skovserne griber både hverdagen og fantasien med sit ligefremme sprog og forfatterens egne dejlige tegninger.Carl Frederik Garde (1928-2008) var sømand, journalist og forfatter.

""Cattle Ships"" is a book written by Samuel Plimsoll, which is the fifth chapter of his second appeal for the safety of seamen. The book focuses on the transportation of cattle by sea and the poor conditions that the animals were subjected to during the late 19th century. Plimsoll, who was a British politician and social reformer, was a strong advocate for the welfare of seamen and animals.
