The Rare Nautical Reads Podcast brings forgotten & obscure sailing books to life allowing them to pass on their hard-won knowledge to a new generation of sailors.
Read by Round the World Yachtsman, Chris Stanmore-Major
When I was growing up, my parents read me 'Swallows & Amazons' by Arthur Ransome. That first book, and the series of adventure stories for children Ransome followed it up with, still to this day remain for me some of the most magical and endearing tales of my youth.
You can imagine then, my excitement at discovering a Ransome story here in the Mariner's Library that allows me as an adult and a sailor to connect with Ransome once again and discover that he also was a sailor. His stories perhaps underpin my love of the ocean, developed at a young age- it's wonderful at 45 years old to discover that he really did know his tack from his gybe, and had already done his hours at the tiller, 60 years before I heard his stories.
I have really enjoyed reading this story and I hope in turn you get pleasure from listening. If you find that you like this authors style I would point you towards 'Swallows & Amazons' and the Arthur Ransome society in the UK https://arthur-ransome.org/

I had never heard of this book before finding it here in the Mariner's Library but 'The Cruises of the Joan' seems to have attached a lot of very positive comments from contemporary literary critics & sailors alike when it was released.
W.E.Sinclair has what commentators at the time refer to as 'a humble style in his approach to recording his voyages'. However, as his mileage increases with journeys throughout Scotland and round the British Isles, it becomes increasingly apparent that his delicately chosen prose is actually perfectly suited to allow even a reader 100 years hence to enter the story, share in the adventure and vicariously live through what promises to be some otherwise unbelievable adventures off the coasts of Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland later on in the book.

Although only a young man of 25 when he set out on this fabulous expedition in 1907, salt water clearly flowed in his veins and it is a real pleasure to be learning, 115 years later of the unique adventure he and his small crew embarked upon in a world that had yet to journey to the South Pole.
I would like the listener to keep in mind when enjoying this book that at that time in the early part of the twentieth century, the Kerguelen Islands far to the South of Australia, to which Capt du Baty was heading; were known as the 'Islands of Desolation'. To be frank, that was as good a name as any, lying as they did at the edge of the known world- just imagine setting out now in a fishing boat with five other people to sail, and then live at the edge of the world- it's almost beyond belief.
Truly, a wooden ships and iron men.
This is a book that I have never even heard of before I found it here on the shelves of the Mariner's library, and yet within just a few pages I have found Captain du Baty to be a kindred spirit who is able to capture effortlessly the thoughts and emotions of those who venture out on surface of the deep.

If you have any sailing books that you think would be an interesting read for modern sailors please contact me at csmthemariner@gmail.com and we will see if we can bring them and their forgotten voyages back to life here on Rare Nautical Reads.

Although only a young man of 25 when he set out on this fabulous expedition in 1907, salt water clearly flowed in his veins and it is a real pleasure to be learning, 115 years later of the unique adventure he and his small crew embarked upon in a world that had yet to journey to the South Pole.
I would like the listener to keep in mind when enjoying this book that at that time in the early part of the twentieth century, the Kerguelen Islands far to the South of Australia, to which Capt du Baty was heading; were known as the 'Islands of Desolation'. To be frank, that was as good a name as any, lying as they did at the edge of the known world- just imagine setting out now in a fishing boat with five other people to sail, and then live at the edge of the world- it's almost beyond belief.
Truly, a wooden ships and iron men.

A dusty, somewhat diminutive tome at the end of a high bookshelf here in the Mariner Library, 'Strange, But True' by Capt. Thomas Crapo is just the sort of book this podcast is all about, it's rare to see a copy, it's all about the sea and it is a veritable treasure-trove of authentic, historically accurate, seamanship information that is still absolutely relevant to modern sailors.
A note of caution if you are sensitive to the deplorable act of whaling, as the opening chapters do deal with Capt. Crapo's earlier days working on a whaling ship on a four year voyage to the Pacific. If you are able to get past factually reported information about an activity which was moral to those depicted here at the end of the 17th century (and not to be confused with the questionable morality of those still pursuing this type of hunting in the 21st Century); you will discover a delightfully observant yet dry authorial style, that depicts not only the incredible circumstances Thomas Crapo and his wife lived through, but also their mental and emotional journey as a couple facing an enormous challenge.

The eighteenth and last part of Brian Connell's 1953 English translation of Dr. Alain Bombard's notable 1952 French manuscript, 'The Bombard Story'.
This is the story of an unbelievable voyage, requiring huge personal sacrifice and with barely mitigated risk, taken solely in the altruistic pursuit of furthering scientific understanding towards providing hard and fast possibilities to help 50,000 ship wreck survivors a year (at that time) hold on long enough for help to reach them.
This is a book that I have wanted to read for many years because it has direct application to the kind of survival situations I might find myself in as a pelagic mariner.
Having personally been in a situation in a round the world yacht race where my desalination machine was reduced in it's capacity to provide fresh water down to only 250ml a day, I know what it is to be surrounded by water but not have drop to drink. In my situation, I was in an equatorial area with no rain showers and with two weeks sailing to the nearest land. I survived by mixing my fresh water with an equal amount of salt water and adding sugar 'to taste/not puke'
My method worked, I finished the leg (3rd!) and I suffered no ill effects, but I am now understandably interested in discovering all I can about Dr Bombard's work and learning more about how it was possible for him to cross the Atlantic, in a rubber boat, in sixty five days with no food & no fresh water.
Let's find out together.

The last chapter of Alain Colas' 'Around the World Alone' a text that has always been closed to me ( I do not speak French) until I found this English translation published by Barron Education Press in 1978.
Alain Colas was lost at sea in 1978 denying the world the opportunity to learn more from this erudite, eloquent and deeply passionate sailor.
As many of you will know, this subject is very close to my heart as I have raced solo along the route that Alain takes in this book.
I found Alain's writing to be so thoughtful, insightful and passionate that there were many times during this reading, that I simply had to stop, take off my headphones and stand looking out of the window, watching salty-eyed as my own 'Bird of Passage' swung impatiently at her mooring.
