Life on board ship

irates, Smugglers, Wreckers and Castaways!

In the section on ships and their stories, many of the websites listed give descriptions and tours of the ships, and lots of information about what life was like for the people sailing and working on them.

Here are two fiction titles which also paint a vivid picture of life at sea.

Hugh Montgomerie - Voyage of the Arctic Tern

Karen Hesse - Young Nick's Head
Bridget Crowley - Ship's Angel
