Nicknamed le loup des mers (“the sea wolf”) by Napoleon, Thomas Cochrane was one of the most daring and successful naval heroes of all time. In this fascinating account of Cochrane’s life, David Cordingly, author of the bestselling Under the Black Flag and The Billy Ruffian, unearths startling new details about the real-life “Master and Commander,” from his daring exploits against the French navy to his role in the liberation of Chile, Peru, and Brazil, and the shock exchange scandal that forced him out of England and almost ended his naval career. Drawing on previously unpublished papers, his own travels, wide reading, and the kind of original research that distinguished The Billy Ruffian, Cordingly tells the rip-roaring story of the archetypal Romantic hero who conquered the seas and, in the process, defined his era.</div></div>]]> 3401 3.56 1041 196 2007 5000 158234468X 9781582344683 3 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165517301m/5000.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165517301s/5000.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5000.The_Billy_Ruffian_The_Bellerophon_and_the_Downfall_of_Napoleon 3.81 16 </div>]]> 3401 3.56 1041 196 2003 1832006 0375500413 9780375500411 4 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188949224m/1832006.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188949224s/1832006.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1832006.Women_Sailors_and_Sailors_Women_An_Untold_Maritime_History 3.45 29
In this illuminating historical narrative, maritime scholar David Cordingly shows that in fact an astonishing number of women went to sea in the great age of sail. Some traveled as the wives or mistresses of captains. A few were smuggled aboard by officers or seaman. A number of cases have come to light of young women dressing in men’s clothes and working alongside the sailors for months, and sometimes years. In the U.S. and Britsh navies, it was not uncommon for the wives of bosuns, carpenters, and cooks to go to sea on warships. Cordingly’s tremendous research shows that there was indeed a thriving female population — from female pirates to the sirens of legend — on and around the high seas. A landmark work of women’s history disguised as a spectacularly entertaining yarn, Women’s Sailors and Sailor’s Women will surprise and delight readers. ]]> 3401 3.56 1041 196 2001 187996 0375758720 9780375758720 6 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172542992m/187996.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172542992s/187996.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/187996.Seafaring_Women_Adventures_of_Pirate_Queens_Female_Stowaways_and_Sailors_Wives 3.71 24 legend—on and around the high seas.

Although the most famous seventeenth century Dutch maritime painters are covered, the author concentrates on lesser known (and less expensive) works from 1800 onwards that are readily available to the collector. The book addresses important questions about maritime drawings and prints, from the subject and location to larger questions of connoisseurship.
