Sitting by a dock in the coastal town of Reykjanesbær, Iceland, is a collection of old ships and fishing gear that provided some unique opportunities for photography during a visit that brother Craig and I paid to Iceland in 2016. We were especially intrigued by this ship and could just imagine the bustling activity up and down this old rope ladder in the ship's heyday.

Lieutenant DeLong's Last Journey Across Siberia Here are the last of the crew of the ill-fated 'Jeannette;' a wooden sailing vessel built for the American Navy for cartographers traveling through the still unexplored iceberg-filled Arctic Seas. On June 12, 1881, 'The Jeannette' was crushed like a bug between two massive icebergs, and the crew escaped across the Siberian wasteland on foot. USN Lieutenant DeLong and his men unloaded provisions and equipment from the ruined vessel and took off on foot across the Siberian ice pack and the ship sank the following morning. Needless to say, these poor guys didn't get very far. This outstanding wood engraving measures 6" x 8" and 7" x 10" overall.' The Jeannette'' would be absolutely fabulous framed. It's in lovely and fresh condition with the usual even tanning and finger smudges one usually finds in 130 year-old paper.

Advice for anyone who is thinking of buying a sailboat to sail the world in. We go through the things worth considering when buying a sailboat.
A chance sailing trip with a friend from work led me to wonder if I could learn to sail. After all, Im a woman, and the sailing world seems to favor men. I am not athletic; I didnt grow up in a family where we learned about boating; I would be starting late, since I was in my thirties; and I suffer from seasickness. What I discovered over the next twenty-five years is that I could indeed learn to be a competent sailor. But I didnt expect to be an expert overnight. Instead, as a novice, I layered on new knowledge slowly, over time, through experiential learning. This book describes the process whereby this happened. Using examples from trips along the coast of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, it reviews the essential knowledge needed to be a sailor as well as explanations about the parts of a sailboat, major boat systems, and tasks associated with maintaining a sailboat. It also discusses some Zen-like attitudes that lead to successful and fun sailing, such as focusing, the no-blame rule, and stripping down to the essentials. Unlike some other sailing guides, this book points out that sailing can be a lifestyle that includes many dimensions. Its not just about getting a boat to sail. Traveling by boat is a unique experience, and visiting small coastal New England communities is an adventure. Learning about history, art, ecology, star constellations, technology, and birds are only a few of the kinds of activities that can be built into a rich and rewarding sailing experience. This book will be helpful for people who would like to learn to sail but who are intimidated by the process, particularly women, fledgling sailors just starting out, and families with children.
