"A valuable and lively resource. Jeans sorts truth from fiction with a sure hand and does full justice to both." --Peter Stanford, President Emeritus, National Maritime Historical Society

"A veritable sourcebook of nautical history, beliefs, and heritage. Every true mariner will get lost in this book."--Boating

Seafaring Lore and Legend is a storehouse of wonders for those who love the sea. From Noah's Ark to Thor Heyerdahl's raft, from Atlantis to the Northwest Passage, author Peter Jeans scours the ages and the seven seas for fanciful, inspiring, and bizarre tales of sea monsters, ghost ships, lost continents, castaways, pirates, explorers, superstitions, and customs.

Discover the surprising truths behind:

  • The origins of naval salutes and the Beaufort Scale
  • Flogging a dead horse and other oddities of nautical custom
  • Sea chanties, scurvy, and the hardships of life at sea
  • Infamous and noteworthy sea captains and their ships
  • Famous wrecks and mutinies
  • Mermaids, sirens, and sea nymphs
  • Nautical superstitions such as the albatross and Fiddler's Green
  • And much more

This is a book you can open anywhere to savor for a few minutes or an afternoon. But be careful: it's easy to lose track of time at sea.

Great shoe: 5th pair purchased!
I love these shoes! They fit true to size and never wear out. Both of my girls have worn these exclusively from 9 months through kindergarten. My oldest just learned to tie laces and that’s the only reason I’m moving her on to different shoes. These are stylish and they grow out of them before the tread even begins to show wear. Additionally, unlike cheap sneakers from Walmart or Target the Velcro holds strong despite a year of use by two different children.

Great purchase!
My child is 14 months and has been on the move for a long time, these shoes are so great, he moves great in them and never has a problem wearing them! They are slightly narrow so the strap doesn’t go all the way, but has never come undone!

Worth every penny
My son’s favorite shoes! High quality, very durable, look nice even when they aren’t freshly cleaned. Easy to take on and off. Definitely worth the money! This color tends to go with everything. Such great support.
