From a bestselling master of maritime and adventure tales comes this collection of short stories about the sea-stories that span his more than 30 years as a writer. An old seaman braves a brutal storm to save his family; a jewel smuggler risks all for his gems; a captain tempts fate with his prized gold watch. These are just some of the characters that make this a landmark treasury for lovers of the sea.
