Retired Master Mariner Captain Shawe has sailed the Western Mediterranean "in square riggers, merchant steamers, naval vessels and yachts for many, many years. He knows every port and gives detailed sailing directions to all of them. He advises you as to the best places to anchor or tie up, and tells about the availability of fuel and supplies. He also gives some historical background for many of the ports, and tells what the visiting yachtsman may wish to see, to eat and to drink. Included is valuable information about weather, winds, and currents, the Spanish, French and Italian weather signals, dangers to be avoided--everything the visiting yachtsman needs to know." [From the dw]. The illustrations include charts of harbors. Fine .
