DESCRIPTION:
John G. Rosevear said Animals at sea. Rather short anecdotes, but excellent photographs.I did enjoy the book, and have given as a gift to another animal lover.
The unforgettable images include dogs with Victoria Crosses and full naval burials; sailors teaching parrots unsavory phrases and using live bears as pillows; and a mongoose that had an unfortunate taste for the ship’s paint.. Selected from the collections of the National Maritime Museum, this book of engaging photographs and touching descriptions features a surprising range of animals and illustrates their extraordinary loyalty to their ships and fellow crew
The pictures often show the animals being showered with attention by lonely sailors or reclining on deck in splendor. "Captures the almost intangible bond between animal and owner. A treasure for pet lovers." Lloyd’s List
