The discussion covers making a budget and estimating costs, how to choose a boat, ensuring crew are well equipped and trained, "letting go" (practically and psychologically), preparing and provisioning the boat, and the challenges and rewards of life afloat.

Known for his technical expertise, Calder here tells the story of his first round-the-world voyage. He began as a novice cruiser with grand ambitions, then came hard-won lessons about troubleshooting engines, kedging off shoals and reefs, and safe navigation.

Named a Sunday Times Best Book of 2018 and the winner of the Mary Soames Award for History, this is a revealing and comprehensive account of the Endeavour's role in shaping the Western world. Notably, Endeavour carried James Cook on his first major voyage-but this ship had many lives. Later, during 1776 battles for control of New York, Endeavour witnessed the birth of the American republic. During its career, its cargo and passengers ranged from botanists, a Polynesian priest, and the remains of the first kangaroo to arrive in Britain, to Newcastle coal and Hessian soldiers. With his careful research, Moore shines new light on the ambition and consequences of the Age of Enlightenment.

In 1766, Britain's Royal Society chose mapmaker and navigator James Cook to lead a South Pacific voyage. Cook and crew returned to London in 1772 and Cook's published journals soon made him a celebrity. Two more Pacific voyages followed--then the famous captain's career ended in his murder in Hawaii. This handsome illustrated account of all three Pacific voyages includes excerpts from Cook's diaries plus illustrations, photographs, and supplementary text.

The SS El Faro, its crew, and hundreds of shipping containers sank to the ocean floor, three miles down--the greatest seagoing US merchant marine shipping disaster since the Second World War. It shouldn't have happened: the massive ship had a seasoned crew, state-of-the-art navigation equipment, and advance warning of the storm. With information gleaned from Coast Guard inquest hearings and interviews, and demonstrating a "tour de force of nautical expertise" (Ocean Navigator), Foy has produced a powerful narrative about the disaster.
