Good pick, keep the suggestions coming!
Tankers Full of Trouble: The Perilous Journey of Alaskan Crude by Eric Nalder
It's the true account of a newspaper reporter from Seattle (one who was hard on tankers in general and Capt. Hazelwood specifically) taking a ride on an Arco (now named Polar) tanker to Valdez, AK.
It's particularly interesting seeing that the author changes his tune, basically admitting not all mariners are environmental misfits, only to be proven wrong years later (in 2006) when the Captain he shadowed is forced into retirement by Polar.
Captivating
"Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea" by Gary Kinder. Treasure salvage from extreme depths.
Any of the Glencannon Stories by Guy Gilpatric that were published back in the '40's about the C/E of the Inchcliffe Castle. Abolutly hilarious.
"In Peril" by Skip Strong and Twain Braden. Modern salvage story, but I'm partial to this one because I co-wrote it.
All great stories. Keep the suggestions coming.
As you can imagine, there were not too many of them left when the war was over to tell their story and he tells a good one.
I know that at least one other wrote a book, but I forget the name.
