Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Message to Seamen: A Call to the Sea and to Seamanship
No calling demands a higher mental and physical stand ard in the men employed. No calling has given any better service to civilization and to humanity. No calling has any right to higher consideration or greater honor, none has given or is giving more important service in peace or war. In the days of chivalry the men of the sea had a right to and did participate in its highest honors.
