Charles Tyng's quarter century under sail took him around the world half a dozen times at the begining of the nineteenth century. Fortunately, he proved to be as natural a storyteller as he was a sailor. Before the Wind has been hailed as a superb contribution to seafaring literature, alongside such books as Two Years Before the Mast and the novels of Patrick O'Brian. Both Tyng's life and the way he recounts his years at sea are full of wonder: He survives shipwrecks, squalls, and pirates. He makes and loses fortunes in tea, sugar, and cotton. He meets Lord Byron as well as the British princess (later queen) Victoria. Sailors, armchair travelers, history buffs, and lovers of pulse-quickening maritime stories will find this book as seductive as the siren song of the sea.

Daniel Rozensztroch brings us into the world of sailors in the way that only he can - with a completely unique eye and sensibility.

Tænk at bygge et perfekt træskib med sine egne hænder og med de teknikker, der hører den danske skibsbyggertradition til. Det var drømmen for søfartshistorikeren, sømanden og formidleren Asger Nørlund Christensen, da han i 1997 uden egentlig skibsbyggeruddannelse gik i gang med sit projekt. Ideen var at bygge et traditionelt træskib, der kunne danne rammen om masser af oplevelser sammen med familie og venner i harmoni med naturen.Bogen handler om, hvordan Asgers drøm tager form. Han beslutter at genskabe sejlskibet Caroline, der var med til at starte den organiserede lystsejlads i Danmark i 1866. For at komme så tæt på originalen som muligt må han igennem mange timers arkivstudier for at afdække Carolines historie. Bogen giver indblik i ikke bare dette skibs historie, men hele udviklingen af den tidlige kapsejlads i Danmark. Skabelsen af den nye Caroline bliver en lang og uforudsigelig proces, og vi følger skibsbyggeriet igennem op- og nedture, nye ideer og masser af udfordringer.Om forfatterAsger Nørlund Christensen stod til søs som 16-årig og var fra start fascineret af de sidste, store træsejlskibe, der ombygget til chartersejlads stadig findes herhjemme. Efter en karriere som professionel sejlskibssømand gik han i land og gennemførte en total restaurering af træskibet Anna fra 1904, inden han i 1997 startede projektet med skibet Caroline. Ved siden af dette blev han cand.mag. i kulturhistorie i 2014 og ph.d. i maritim historie i 2019.E-bogen er lavet i fixed format

A history of one of America's earliest canals and its impact on the people of the South Carolina LowcountryCompleted in 1800, the Santee Canal provided the first inland navigation route from the Upcountry of the South Carolina Piedmont to the port of Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean. By connecting the Cooper, Santee, Congaree, and Wateree rivers, the engineered waterway transformed the lives of many in the state and affected economic development in the Southeast region of the newly formed United States. In The Santee Canal, authors Elizabeth Connor, Richard Dwight Porcher Jr., and William Robert Judd provide an authoritative and richly illustrated history of one of America's first canals. The Santee Canal connected distant settlements, reversed the economic fortunes of planters who altered the relationships between enslaved and enslavers and represented an important engineering achievement of the early canal-building era in the United States. This remarkable economic, social, and political story is brought to life by the stories of the many individuals who had a hand in building the canal. From the landowners through whose property it cut, to the enslaved laborers who carved its path, to the enigmatic chief engineer Johann Christian Senf--the individual and local perspectives on this grand undertaking ground this history in the life and times of late 18th-century South Carolina.Connor, Porcher, and Judd tell a comprehensive story of the canal's origins and history. Never-before published historical plans and maps, photographs from personal archives and field research, and technical drawings enhance the text, allowing readers to appreciate the development, evolution, and effect of the Santee Canal on the land and the people of South Carolina.
