Book Description
Using a metaphor based on the story of Columbus and his three ships, this extended parable outlines the three possible directions every person's life may take: the sinking ship, the cruise ship, or the battleship-respectively symbolizing personal survival, unbridled enjoyment, and meaningful influence. Acknowledging that many people choose all three approaches at some point, this meditation focuses on avoiding smaller ambitions and striving for the quality and significance possible within the "battleship." Providing specific and practical guidelines for discovering one's combined ability and passion, this inspirational handbook is beneficial for both young and older adults.

Book Description
Excerpt from I Saw Three Ships: And Other Winter Tales An' 'tis a delicate matter to cuss the singers when the musicianers be twice as bad. I'd a very present sense of being a bar or more behind the fair - that I can honestly vow, put in Elias Sweetland, bending across from the left. Now Elias was a bachelor, and had blown the serpent from his youth up. He was a bald, thin man, with a high leathern stock, and shoulders that sloped remarkably. Well, 'taint a suent engine at the best, Elias - that O' yourn, said his affable leader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Set in post-war England, this is the story of the square-rigger Bonnie Clyde. Before this great lady meets her fate, a group of rogue sailors, unable to persuade the Admiralty to help save the vessel, pirates the ship away while she's under tow to be scuttled. Through their creative use of materials and methods, they sail her through the English Channel and the Irish Sea, hoping to deliver the ship to where she was built in Dumbarton, Scotland on the river Clyde. A former Royal Navy officer Lt. Flynn tells the story. He is lured into conspiring with a Scottish sea captain (Bowman), his British first mate (Harris) who is the inside connection to parts from the scrap yards, an Irish navigator (Edward), and a Russian master rigger (Boris). Together, the crew outsmarts the British Admiralty and Scotland Yard in their attempts to stop the ship. During their journey, the crew fights the weather and avoids modern day detection. A sympathetic public opinion, aided by an AP reporter and a host of unlikely co-conspirators become their allies. Praise from reviewers: Walter Cronkite — A Ship's Tale by N. Jay Young is “an extraordinary tale from World War II of an extraordinary sailing vessel written by a courageous and extraordinary author.” James P. Delgado, Host of National Geographic Television’s The Sea Hunters and Executive Director, Vancouver Maritime Museum — “A Ship’s Tale by N. Jay Young is compelling, true to life, and hitting straight in the heart. I can empathize with those men who love that ship—for I too have loved and lost a ship. I encourage anyone with a love of the sea as well as those in a relationship with one of us ‘ship loving’ types to read this book.” Clive Cussler — “This is a good book and would make a good film.”
