Masters, Mates and Mishaps Thomas Archer

This is a book of short stories and tall tales. Due to their long voyages over empty oceans and along hostile coasts deep sea mariners, both sailors and officers, develop some odd personal habits and personality traits. They are alternative thinkers by necessity. If anything goes wrong, no one is coming to help. In fact when ships go down, the souls have long disappeared before anyone even starts to look for them. These stories are about some of the odd individuals the author sailed with and unusual events he was involved in.
