Sailor's Word-book, S - Z

William Henry Smyth

A compendium of fascinating words describing the world from far reaches of the visible universe to the ocean depths, along with creatures large and small, from the store of knowledge of a lettered navigator and seaman. The root of words is satisfyingly revealed in this and preceding volumes, A - R, as well as many words now fallen into the abyss of history.
