    Wander Ships Or Folk Stories of the Sea is a book written by Wilbur Bassett that features a collection of fascinating stories about life at sea. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which deals with a different aspect of seafaring. The stories are drawn from a variety of sources, including folklore, history, and personal experience. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the adventures of pirates and privateers to the superstitions of sailors and the lore of sea monsters. There are tales of shipwrecks and sea battles, stories of brave sailors and treacherous captains, and accounts of the hardships and dangers of life on board a ship. Throughout the book, Bassett's love of the sea and his deep respect for the men and women who have sailed on it shines through. The stories are told in a lively and engaging style, with vivid descriptions of the sights, sounds, and smells of life at sea. Wander Ships Or Folk Stories of the Sea is a must-read for anyone who loves the sea and its rich history and folklore. It is a timeless collection of tales that will captivate readers of all ages and backgrounds.1917. With notes upon their origin. The vast number of reported legends of uncanny ships may, perhaps, be reduced to the five classes represented by the five stories here presented, and they were selected for this reason. These stories are illustrative of these five classes, or reward ships, punishment ships, spectres, ships of the death voyage, and devil ships, because the story chosen in each instance appears to be a clear example of its own class, uncontaminated by elements belonging to the other classes, as is so frequently the case in folk stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
