Sail into the mysterious world of the sea with this classic anthology of myths, legends, and superstitions from maritime life. Written by renowned folklorist Margaret Baker and beautifully illustrated by Philip Harris, this hardback collection captures the enduring stories of the deep and the traditions that shaped seafaring communities.
Discover chilling tales of phantom ships like the Flying Dutchman, encounters with sea-serpents, and the lonely vigils of lighthouse keepers. Explore age-old maritime rituals, from crossing-the-line ceremonies to blessing the fishing fleet, along with the chanties, taboos, talismans, and weather lore that still ripple through nautical culture today.
More than a treasury of folklore, this book is a journey into humanity’s long and symbolic relationship with the ocean. A perfect companion for older children, teens, and adults with an interest in myths, legends, or the sea.
