Book Description
CAPTAIN SEBASTIAN SHARK Baptized in blood and fire, he's a buccaneer captain of the Caribbean in the seventeenth century. Those were adventurous years, when men dared to seek their fortunes between the deadly horrors of the Spanish Inquisition and seas infested with cutthroat pirate ships. Shark was such a man, an adventurer who had faced Henry Morgan at Panama, escaped from the Barbary Corsairs, and sailed through countless battles across the Spanish Main. He considered his life merely a ticket to an uncertain future, hopefully filled with good wine, chests of gold, a fiery woman or two ... and a sturdy ship to meet the enemy and a never-ending horizon. Come aboard for a breathtaking race into the glorious past, when the seas churned with ships at war, when the skies were clouded with the smoke of battle, and the sounds of cannon and cutlass tore the air. Not since Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood has there been a tale of pirates and buccaneers as authentic and as exciting as this ... watch for the next adventure of Captain Shark!

"[...]shape over to-morrow, to pass the port inspectors, and rest up Sunday. I'll detail Bob to help you-he's been acting as supercargo up to date." "Much obliged," grunted Bob sarcastically, "How about an outfit? Will Mart have to get any clothes?" "Not on my ship. They'll come out of the slop-chest. Oh, you needn't look that way, Mart," and the financier laughed at Mart's dismay. "Slop-chest is sailors' slang for ship's stores. Just fetch your ordinary clothes. Bob, you'd better get that[...]".

13 Sharks
Author: John D. Grainger
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1473877261
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
John D Grainger charts the careers of the thirteen vessels that have served the Royal Navy under the name HMS Shark. Despite the ferocious name, they have all been relatively small vessels including one brigantine, five sloops, one Sixth Rate, a gunvessel, four destroyers and a submarine. Collectively they therefore give a good representation of the various roles of these types, which receive far less attention than larger, more glamorous ships. Furthermore, as the first entered service in 1699 and the last was sunk in 1944 (having the dubious distinction of being the only Allied vessel lost on D-Day), they illustrate the changes and continuities in the Royal Navy and war at sea across almost 250 years. In each case the author considers the origin of the ship, the purpose for which it was designed and employed, its captains and where possible its crew, as well as the activities of the ship itself and its final fate; in addition background information of a general nature is included as a necessary context for those actions.
