Although ships and the sea have been part of its history for centuries, very little is known about the men and women who have worked in its coastal and lake fleets.

In it, seafarers tell ther own stories and remember the good times as well as the bad, in peace and war and during the depression. Eric Sager draws on interviews with master mariners, engineers, able seamen, cooks, stewards, and many others who worked aboard steamships from 1920 to 1950." Based on interviews on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada..

Description:
From the d.j.: "Ships and Memories is a fascinating account of the life at sea during the age of steam. Seafarers tell their own stories and remember the good times as well as the bad, in peace and war and during the depression. The author draws on interviews with master mariners, cooks, stewards and others who worked aboard steamships from 1920 to 1950." "In language charged with passion, nostalgia, and, at times, bitterness, they recall the dangers of seafaring, the lonelinness aboard ship, and the difficulty of supporting families ashore, but they also remember, with earthy humour, the rowdy adventures in port."
