A fine collection of stories about the sea, most of which will be as interesting to read a generation from now as they are today.

About the AuthorSamuel Sobel received a B.A. degree from Yeshiva University and an M.A. degree from Columbia University. Ordained by the Hebrew Union College--Jewish Institute of Religion, and the first Jewish chaplain ever to be appointed to the regular U.S. Navy, he served as Staff Chaplain of the Military Sea Transportation Service, Atlantic Area.
