The Language of Sailing by Richard Mayne

This etymological analysis of nautical language demonstrates how seafaring brought European sailors' languages together through conflict and comradeship from earliest times, when sailing crews could be as multinational as 1990s international conglomerates.

Richard Mayne is a professor at the University of the West of England in the United Kingdom.
