Book Description
A group of fun-loving scuba divers called the Sea Dogs find themselves hoodwinked when their biannual dive trip to the Florida Keys is rearranged on an innocent pretense. Their friend Ray Stellar has just inherited a spectacular island off Key Largo, and asks the dive team if they'd rather vacation on his island instead of their normal destination. Eager to save money, the team accepts the free trip. When they arrive on the island, the divers find themselves up to their necks in dirty deeds. To settle his mounting debts, Ray's boss has made a deal with a drug kingpin; and the Sea Dogs unknowingly become involved in the arrangement. The DEA soon shows up, and the Sea Dogs are stalked, used as pawns, and almost get their ship blown up. But their happy-go-lucky attitude and positive perspective see them through, and they manage to thwart the drug kingpin. Just when they thought the bad times were behind them, they stumble onto the lost treasure of Black Beard the pirate. Kidnappings, Black Beard's ghost, and hilarious mishaps plague the Sea Dogs at every turn. Will the Sea Dogs ever find peace and quiet in their lives again, or will their trip be the vacation to end all vacations?

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXV. "In my youth, and through the prime of manhood, I never entered London without feelings of hope and pleasure. It was to me the grand theatre of intellectual activity, the field for every species of enterprise and exertion, the metropolis of the world, of business, thought, and action. There I was sure to find friends and companions, to hear the voice of encouragement and praise. There, society of the most refined sort offered daily its banquets to the mind, and new objects of interest and ambition were constantly exciting attention either in politics, literature, or science." THESE feelings, so well described by a man of genius, have probably been felt more or less by most young men who have within them any consciousness of talent, or any of that enthusiasm, that eager desire to have or to give sympathy, which especially in youth characterises noble natures. But after even one or two seasons in a great metropolis these feelings often change long before they are altered by age. Granville Beauclerc had already persuaded himself that he now detested, as much as he had at first been delighted with, a London life. From his metaphysical habits of mind, and from the sensibility of his temper, he had been too soon disgusted by that sort of general politeness which, as he said, takes up the time and place of real friendship; and as for the intellectual pleasures, they were, he said, too superficial for him; and his notions of independence, too, were at this time quite incompatible with the conventional life of a great capital. His present wish was to live all the year round in the country, with the woman he loved, and in the society of a few chosen friends. Helen quite agreed with him in his taste for the country; she had scarcely...

Book Description
Citizen, colonist, pioneer! These three words carry the history of the United States back to its earliest form in 'the Newe Worlde called America.' But who prepared the way for the pioneers from the Old World and what ensured their safety in the New? The title of the present volume, Elizabethan Sea-Dogs, gives the only answer. It was during the reign of Elizabeth, the last of the Tudor sovereigns of England, that Englishmen won the command of the sea under the consummate leadership of Sir Francis Drake, the first of modern admirals. Drake and his companions are known to fame as Sea-Dogs. They won the English right of way into Spain's New World. And Anglo-American history begins with that century of maritime adventure and naval war in which English sailors blazed and secured the long sea-trail for the men of every other kind who found or sought their fortunes in America.

Pages : 211
Book Description
In the early spring of 1476 the Italian Giovanni Caboto, who, like Christopher Columbus, was a seafaring citizen of Genoa, transferred his allegiance to Venice. The Roman Empire had fallen a thousand years before. Rome now held temporal sway only over the States of the Church, which were weak in armed force, even when compared with the small republics, dukedoms, and principalities which lay north and south. But Papal Rome, as the head and heart of a spiritual empire, was still a world-power; and the disunited Italian states were first in the commercial enterprise of the age as well as in the glories of the Renaissance. North of the Papal domain, which cut the peninsula in two parts, stood three renowned Italian cities: Florence, the capital of Tuscany, leading the world in arts; Genoa, the home of Caboto and Columbus, teaching the world the science of navigation; and Venice, mistress of the great trade route between Europe and Asia, controlling the world's commerce. Thus, in becoming a citizen of Venice, Giovanni Caboto the Genoese was leaving the best home of scientific navigation for the best home of sea-borne trade. His very name was no bad credential. Surnames often come from nicknames; and for a Genoese to be called Il Caboto was as much as for an Arab of the Desert to be known to his people as The Horseman. Cabottággio now means no more than coasting trade. But before there was any real ocean commerce it referred to the regular sea-borne trade of the time; and Giovanni Caboto must have either upheld an exceptional family tradition or struck out an exceptional line for himself to have been known as John the Skipper among the many other expert skippers hailing from the port of Genoa.

The Book "Dreamer" is about a young boy Mike from Northern Ontario who had to grow up fast and hard to survive back in the late fifties. His life took many twists and turns. Not many of which that were good. As you follow along on his journey of life with him, it will be impossible not to feel as if you are right there with him. Experiencing his life as he had right beside him, with every trial and tribulation. He may even need your help along the way? Dreamer will be an unforgettable reading experience that will make you both laugh as well as cry with the young boy from Northern Ontario........ You could barely tell where the shore stopped and the ice started. It all blended together because it was covered in snow. So it all looked the same. No starting point, no ending point. Not like when you looked out towards Lake Superior. You could tell where the water stopped and the ice began to form. The water actually looked scary, unforgiving. Similar to what you would imagine a living giant sea monster would be hiding in. Like some kind of serpent would be part of. Then all of a sudden take shape. Reach up and grab you! Never to be seen again because it would never give you back once you were with it. Like the song years later by Gordon Light Foot. The song about the Edmund Fitzgerald. Superior they say never gives up her dead...Mike. After thinking all of this stuff to scare the living shit out of himself. Then, he proceeded to walk down to the skaters. To the right . Away from Superior. Checking over his shoulder periodically to make sure nothing had changed. In the way of Superior trying to sneak up on him. When he reached the other kids no one paid him any mind. No one even noticed him. So he thought. Feeling a little sorry for himself as anyone would have. Everyone skating, laughing and having a gay old time and him standing there like a lump. He started to wonder around out of boredom. Make a snow ball. Toss it at nothing but a little more snow. Look at the tree tops and see the birds. Begin wondering how the hell they don't freeze to death in the winter. All the time wondering aimlessly towards....... You guessed it. Superior! He was making his own trail for no one had ever walked here in these very steps. Mike liked the idea that he was walking, where no man had ever walked. His little rain boots were the only tracks in that snow. Mike was kinda like the explorers he had heard about that had gone where nobody had gone before. He was one right now too. Just a little smaller scale. Mike could hear the voices of the skaters ringing in his ears but for some reason they sounded, barely audible. He paid no mind. Walked a little farther and now the voices were definitely not right. You don't scream like that if you are having fun. So Mike turned back to see just what the hell all the commotion was about. As he stopped and turned back he heard it! Even at a young age you know that sound. You know that sound because it sends a cold chill right through you. For a split second the warmth leaves your entire body. HE HEARD THE ICE CRACK! Then he felt the snow under his feet give just ever so slightly. He looked up to see some people with their hands up to their mouths to look like giant O's. Screaming at him to come back. Again he notice there breath coming out in a white cloud. then blown away by the wind. More importantly he noticed the urgency in which they were calling him to come back. While others waved their arms madly in giant circular motions towards the tree line behind them. Away from Superior. It was at that point everything felt so calm. Almost dizzying. Everything slow and crystal clear. The people were so far away now. With their bright colored clothes and their hands all to their mouths yelling for him to come back.
