Origins of Sea Terms differs from existing glossaries in its emphasis on word roots and earliest meanings and in its witty style.
Old salt John Rogers has compiled 1,249 entries pertaining to life onboard ship, hulls and rigging, shiphandling, sea and weather conditions, and naval and technical terms.
Now in its fifth printing, Origins of Sea Terms appeals to mariners of all services, yachtsmen, maritime scholars, and armchair sailors alike as both a reference and a source of enjoyment.
