America And The Sea: A Maritime History

The most interesting History Class I could have ever taken with this book written by the 6 Maritime Historians of our lifetime and this was the first Book ever written and first History course offered in our State College for credited History course. I would take the course over and over and never get bored. Maritime written by true Sailors. I feel honored to have this Text in my Research Library..And less expensive here than when in school.
