The sea has been an endless source of fascination, at once both
alluring and mysterious, a place of wonder and terror. The Sea
Journal contains first-hand records by a great range of travellers
of their encounters with strange creatures and new lands, full of
dangers and delights, pleasures and perils. In this remarkable
gathering of private journals, log books, letters and diaries, we
follow the voyages of intrepid sailors, from the frozen polar
wastes to South Seas paradise islands, as they set down their
immediate impressions of all they saw. They capture their
experiences while at sea, giving us a precious view of the oceans
and the creatures that live in them as they were when they were
scarcely known and right up to the present day. In a series of
biographical portraits, we meet officers and ordinary sailors,
cooks and whalers, surgeons and artists, explorers and adventurers.
A handful of contemporary mariners provide their thoughts on how
art remains integral to their voyaging lives. Often still bearing
the traces of their nautical past, the intriguing and enchanting
sketches and drawings in this book brilliantly capture the spirit
of the oceans and the magic of the sea.
