McDermott’s first novel, Deadly Straits, is built around the context of marine terrorism and piracy as the name suggests and justifies its title with a fast-paced plot, which is disturbingly plausible. This maritime thriller, published in 2013, tells the story of a marine engineer named Tom Dugan, who becomes collateral damage in the War on Terror.

While many maritime novels focus on adventure and heroic deeds, the prime function of ships, other than warfare, is the making of money. The darkest aspect of this, involving both greed and cruelty is seen in the slave trade: "The story of Britain's involvement in the slave trade echoes the profit versus morality debate that is present in so many maritime novels". [72] Sacred Hunger (1992) is a historical novel by Barry Unsworth (1930–2012), which is set in the mid 18th century in the English sea port of Liverpool and aboard the Liverpool Merchant a slave ship. The novel's central theme is greed, with the subject of slavery being a primary medium for exploring the issue. The story line has a very extensive cast of characters, and the narrative interweaves elements of appalling cruelty and horror with extended comic interludes. [73] It shared, in 1992, the Booker Prize that year with Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient. A sequel, The Quality of Mercy, Unsworth's last book, was published in 2011. Women in the Royal Navy serve in many roles; as pilots, observers and air-crew personnel; as divers, and Commanding Officers of HM Ships and shore establishments, notably Cdr Sarah West, who took up her appointment as CO of HMS PORTLAND in 2012, taking her ship from a refit in Rosyth to her current deployment as an Atlantic Patrol vessel. In another milestone for the Royal Navy, Commander Sue Moore was the first woman to command a squadron of minor war vessels; the First Patrol Boat Squadron (1PBS) ... Women can serve in the Royal Marines but not as RM Commandos."

The Saturday Evening Post in the late 1920s ran a series of short stories about "Tugboat Annie" Brennan, a widow who ran a tugboat and successfully competed for a share of the towboat business in Puget Sound. Annie and her crew also did some crime fighting and helped people caught in storms and floods. The series was extremely popular and there were two films and a television show that were based on it. [49] The adventure of searching for food was so much fun! But nowadays, who can get what they are looking for when everything is in such short supply?

The British brig-sloop Speedy's defeat of the Spanish xebec-frigate El Gamo on 6 May 1801, generally regarded as one of the most remarkable single-ship actions in naval history, founded the legendary reputation of the Speedy's commander, Lord Cochrane (later Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, GCB). a b Thompson, Howard (June 25, 1964). "The Long Ships (1963) Screen: 'The Long Ships':Widmark and Poitier in Viking Adventure". The New York Times. Absolutely spectacular book -- so much more than a military memoir. William McRaven tells his story with an almost spiritual sense of purpose, carefully arranging each story to teach a lesson about loyalty, perseverance, optimism, and faith. Each combat operation or rescue effort seems to fit into a rhythmic pattern, and they are told in a sequence that gives greater meaning to the whole. On March 1878, en route toPortsmouth from Bermuda and the West Indies, the naval ship HMS Eurydicewas caught in an unbelievable snowstorm off the coast of the Isle of Wight. The ship capsized and sank, taking the lives of all but two of the 281 crew members. A young Winston Churchill bore witness to the event. Written in 1915, The Shadow-Line of Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad is an autobiographical short novel.

The initial part was boring as the examples brought up from his childhood were not very exciting, and dragged for a bit too long. Then the book gets good as he enters the SEALs training, and some chapters like the recovery of the missing plane (Tofino chapter), and his accident, are really interesting and get very intimate with the cast of people who were with him on those missions / incidents. I felt I was about to really like this book but by the half way mark, it went downhill again, barely recovering with minor exceptions.

Then, went to meet Ariel´s father, who was at the kingdom; and from that moment, they were not afraid of sharks any more. Ate sea snails and were very happy ever after. One summer morning, on waking up, she decided that after doing her work as a fisher of the seas, and after being dropped at anchor in the harbour, she would spend the afternoon dreaming of being a rolling “bike-ship”.
