Most of us never realize how many words and expressions used in everyday English have a fascinating nautical origin. This charming pocketbook explains the practical ship-board beginnings of over 200 such phrases--colorful, bizarre and surprising--and how they came ashore. For anyone with an interest in the sea & its traditions--landlubbers, boaters, historians, linguists.DEBRA WEBB is the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of more than 130 books, including the Faces of Evil, Colby Agency, and Shades of Death series, which are all fan favorites. Debra's passion of storytelling dates back to her upbringing on a farm in Alabama, with more than four million books sold in a variety of languages and nations.
