The Ocean Almanac

Product Information

From the plankton to the blue whale, and from finding buried treasure to sending a message in a bottle, this book includes virtually everything you could want to know about the oceans.

Comes with a range of information on waypoints, weather, regulations, radio frequencies, harbour information and more. This entertaining, informative almanac offers essays, anecdotes, facts and legends, all pertaining to the earthʼs oceans: life in the seven seas, from the humble plankton (the absolute bottom of the food chain and hence the basis of all life on earth) to the mighty blue whale (the largest creature ever to live on the planet); sea monsters, from Jonahʼs ʺgreat fishʺ to Moby Dick; sailorsʼ superstitions (never carry a black seabag; always board a ship right foot first); great ships and seamen, from the fifteenth-century voyages of discovery to contemporary naval commanders; pirates, buccaneers, mutineers and other seafaring outcasts; the riches of the sea, from tuna to petroleum; great sea disasters; ocean and beach sports; seafood recipes; and virtually everything else that one could want to know about the oceans of the world, the creatures who inhabit them and the people who tap their riches. It isn't a book that you have to read from front to back, just pick a subject or topic and have at it!
