After reading so many sailing books from the past 120 years I am starting to recognize certain authors who I had never heard of before starting the Mariner's Library who were giants within the sailing community a life time ago.

One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is 'The Southseaman'.

Just learning whatever I can about the man, his adventures and the nature of his bond with the sea plus a quick reading of the opening few pages told me enough for me to know that we would be in for a great tale, told by a master storyteller.

I for one, am excited to hear for the first time an old, but fresh-to-me story, that was so inspiring and enjoyable to my own, long-gone sailing heroes
