The 100-page collection of travel writing is non-fiction and
unuique. There are first-hand narratives of hitchhiking alone
through East Africa, of voyages with untested crews across the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, of storms, knife and shark attacks,
robberies and wrecks. Aside from travel writing, they are fiction.
- Juvenilia is by definition a retrospective of someone's early
work, to discern not so much quality as direction. This writing is
not meant to impress, but it is hoped that teens today might
empathize with some of the anger, the questioning of authority, and
the rebelliousness - imaginary, idealized - herein. Umbrae
Papilionis means shadows of the butterflies I hoped later to write.
I was a 17-year-old junior at St. George's School in Newport, RI. I
was not good in spring sports and took advantage of the school's
little-known policy of producing a special project instead Z. (for
Zarathustra) was overseen on my senior year by Mrs. Janet Buell.
The title derives from my study of and flirtation with Persian and
non-Judeo-Christian religions, and a featured essay. Shorts is by
far the loudest scream this author has put to paper. My freshman
year at 15,000-student Boston College was highly tumultuous and
wrenchingly free. Shorts reflects my Beatnik bent. The collections
features numerous maps and hundreds of illustrations, many of them
penned during the authors teen years. The ragged layout is
intentional, as each of thesebooks were hand made, often through
conniving administrators for the use of equipment. Eric T. Wibergs
studies took him to five universities in three countries - he
sailed across the Atlantic to attend Oxford and skippered a 68-foot
yacht to New Zealand after college. He has run tankers in Singapore
and headhunted in New York. A licensed captain and maritime lawyer,
he provides business development servies to the shipping industry.
The author of several books about travel and naval history, he grew
up in Bahamas and lives with his wife and son in Connecticut
Written in fulfillment of a Masters in Marine Affairs Degree at the
University of Rhode Island in 2005, this is the harrowing tale of
some 70 vessels over the past 30 years who have found themselves
distressed at sea and begged coastal states for a safe place to
stabilize their problems. As this unique research points out, more
often than not they were turned away and in the case of the
Prestige in 2002, with disastrous results which polluted the
coastlines of three countries, cost over US$5 billion, and
indirectly led to the overthrow of the Spanish government. With
careful analysis of the salvors point of view and with a windward
eye on the environment, this study brings the reader through
step-by-step analyses and methodologies through which to debunk or
confirm assumptions. The research and listings of the 70 or so
casualties themselves make harrowing reading, the analysis sections
aret more academic, and the bibliography provides for extensive
further research. This research has been requested by and supplied
to all parties in the litigation between the Spanish government,
the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), the Bahamas Maritime
Authority, and their attorneys in the U.S. and Europe. Eric Wiberg
is qualified as a maritime lawyer and a member of the Maritime Law
Association of the US and the American Salvage Association. A
licensed captain, he has over 80,000 nautical miles of seagoing and
command experience. For three years he hepled commercially operate
a fleet of tankers for the firm which lost the Braer. He has
written several books about travel and naval history. A citizen of
the US and Sweden, he grew up in Bahamas and lives with his wife
and son in Connecticut.
