Was the Titanic doomed because of its name? Can you really "swallow the anchor"? Jack Tar and the Baboon Watch is a collection of unusual, nautical-based phrases and trivia tidbits for Jack Tars* and landlubbers** alike. Author and mariner Frank Lanier began to compile these entries while serving in the Coast Guard; they were included in the Plan of the Day published aboard the various ships Lanier was stationed on starting in the 1980s. He explains these colorful terms and entertaining phrases in plain language and presents their origins—many of which will surprise you! Inside you will find words and phrases . . . FROM THE FAMILIAR . . . Over a Barrel--Sailors were sometimes tied over a barrel while being flogged. Rummage--A ship's cargo or the packing of it in the vessel's hold, the yardsale-type association of the term arising from the fact damaged cargo was often sold at a "rummage sale," a clearing out sale of unclaimed goods at the dock. Rubbernecker--A sailor who stood by and looked on as his shipmates worked. Square Meal--A solid, hearty meal, said to be derived from the square, wooden platters hot meals were served upon aboard ship in good weather. To "Fudge It"--A sailor's term for a lie, nonsense; exaggeration that can be traced to one Captain Fudge, a seventeenth-century sailor whose propensity for telling outrageous whoppers prompted his crew to meet any tale of dubious origin with a cry of "You Fudge It!" . . TO THE BIZARRE . . . Dog’s Vomit--A moist hash of hardtack biscuits and meat cooked together. Kissed by Mother Carey--Those whose destiny seemed forever tied to the sea. Suck the Monkey--The clandestine siphoning of spirits from one of the ship's casks via a straw or other such tube. Swallow the Anchor--An old salt who retired ashore, forever giving up his life at sea. With the intriguing Jack Tar and the Baboon Watch, you'll soon be able to talk like a sailor worth his salt! *Sailors **Unexperienced sailors

'Just incredible' Naomi Klein 'Gripping and shocking...with the pace of a thriller' The Times A New York Times bestseller, The Outlaw Ocean is a riveting, adrenalin-fuelled tour of a vast, lawless and rampantly criminal world that few have ever seen: the high seas. The oceans are some of the last untamed frontiers on our planet. Too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these treacherous waters play host to the extremes of human behaviour and activity. From traffickers, smugglers and pirates to vigilante conservationists, stowaways and seabound abortion-providers, Ian Urbina introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world and their risk-fraught lives. Through their extraordinary stories, he uncovers a globe-spanning network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing, oil and shipping industries - but to which all of us are connected. LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 2019 'An astonishing book about a world most of us don't even know exists' Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland 'An outstanding investigation of a global criminal culture on the high seas' Guardian 'Truly important...

На нашей планете осталось мало неосвоенных территорий. Но, возможно, самые дикие и наименее изученные — это океаны мира. Слишком большие, чтобы их контролировать, и не имеющие четкого международного правового статуса огромные зоны нейтральных вод стали прибежищем разгула преступности. Работорговцы и контрабандисты, пираты и наемники, похитители затонувших судов и скупщики конфискованных товаров, бдительные защитники природы и неуловимые браконьеры, закованные в кандалы рабы и брошенные на произвол судьбы нелегальные пассажиры. С обитателями этого закрытого мира нас знакомит пулитцеровский лауреат Иэн Урбина, чьи опасные и бесстрашные журналистские расследования, зачастую в сотнях миль от берега, легли в основу книги. Через истории удивительного мужества и жестокости, выживания и трагедий автор показывает глобальную сеть криминала и насилия, опутывающую важнейшие для мировой экономики отрасли: рыболовецкую, нефтедобывающую, судоходную.

Toda a adrenalina da aventura por um mundo vasto, sem lei e criminoso como poucos: o alto-mar Há poucas fronteiras ainda não exploradas em nosso planeta. Talvez a mais selvagem, e quase desconhecida, sejam os oceanos: grandes demais para serem policiados e sem jurisdição internacional evidente, essas imensas regiões de águas traiçoeiras abrigam índices galopantes de criminalidade e exploração. Traficantes e contrabandistas, piratas e mercenários, ladrões de naufrágios, vigilantes conservacionistas e caçadores, pessoas que realizam abortos em alto-mar, despejadores ilegais de petróleo, escravos acorrentados e passageiros clandestinos à deriva. Valendo-se de cinco anos de investigações perigosas e intrépidas, muitas vezes a centenas de quilômetros de distância da costa, o premiado repórter Ian Urbina nos apresenta os habitantes deste mundo oculto. Com histórias de espantosa coragem e brutalidade, sobrevivência e tragédia, revela-se a rede global de crime e exploração vinculada às indústrias da pesca, do petróleo e da navegação, e da qual dependem inúmeras economias mundiais. O Brasil ganha destaque no capítulo que relata o embate entre companhias interessadas em perfurar o solo oceânico na costa do país e pesquisadores locais. Empresas que ganharam, em 2013, concessão do governo para explorar a área em busca de petróleo, mas voltaram atrás depois que o Greenpeace auxiliou os cientistas na realização de um estudo que provava a existência de recifes de corais na área — um ecossistema vivo e rico que fornece proteção e alimentação a diversas formas de vida marinha. Oceano sem lei é o desdobramento de uma série de reportagens inovadoras, escritas pelo autor e publicadas pelo The New York Times. Traz à tona, pela primeira vez, a realidade perturbadora do mundo flutuante que nos conecta: um lugar onde qualquer um pode fazer qualquer coisa porque ninguém está vigiando.

Hay pocas fronteras restantes en nuestro planeta, pero quizás las más salvajes y menos entendidas son los océanos: demasiado grandes para la policía y sin una autoridad internacional clara, estas inmensas regiones de aguas traicioneras albergan la criminalidad y la explotación desenfrenadas. Aprovechando cinco años de investigación periodística peligrosos e intrépidos, a menudo a cientos de millas de la costa, Ian Urbina nos presenta a los habitantes de este mundo oculto. A través de sus historias de asombroso coraje y brutalidad, supervivencia y tragedia, descubre una red mundial de crimen y explotación que emana de las industrias pesquera, petrolera y naviera, y de la que dependen las economías del mundo. Tan apasionante como una historia de aventuras y con una sorprendente exposición.

Born was a child of the rain forest that covered Midworld, part of the primitive society that the peaceful jungle planet had sustained for hundreds of years. He was wise in the ways of his world, and he knew well the precarious natural balance that governed all things.Then one day the aliens came. Giants. They knew nothing of the Upper or Lower Hell ? and they cared less. Born had risked his life to save them, to guide them through the myriad tangled boughs, past unseen, unsuspected dangers lurking in the underbrush. But worse than their ignorance of how to survive, the aliens had plans for Midworld, plans that could utterly destroy the globe-spanning forest that his people called home.As the days passed, Born realized his mistake. And as he had once hunted only to live, he knew now that he would be forced to live only to kill...
