i wasn't very sure i would like this as the majority of the sea jargon is quite foreign to me. regardless, there were several very, very good short stories in this collection, even they sometimes felt a little repetitive.

favourites include: 'the ship of silence' by albert r. wetjen, 'sargasso' by ward muir, 'the floating forest' by herman scheffauer, 'the mystery of the water-logged ship' by william hope hodgson, 'from the depths' by f. britten austin, 'devereux's last smoke' by izola forrester, 'the soul-saver' by morgan burke and 'no ships pass' by lady eleanor smith.
