Over the last 40 years, Jonathan King has brought history to life, re-enacting events such as the First Fleet’s voyage across the high seas to Botany Bay, the mutiny against ship’s captain William Bligh on the Bounty, Matthew Flinders’ troubled circumnavigation of Terra Australis, Ernest Shackleton’s death-defying dash across the icy waters of the Antarctic Ocean, and Marco Polo’s passage from China. Along the way, King has encountered a cast of mavericks, rogues, entrepreneurs, dignitaries, and politicians — a veritable who’s who of Australia and beyond. These include bushman R.M. Williams, singers Slim Dusty and Helen Reddy, actor Jack Thompson, media magnate Rupert Murdoch, great train robber Ronnie Biggs, explorer Edmund Hillary, boxer Muhammad Ali, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, rock star Sting — and even Queen Elizabeth II. So join this bestselling author and historian as he recounts his spectacular adventures: jackarooing on outback stations; trekking the Amazon to meet a remote tribe; sailing the perilous waters of the Atlantic; riding a traditional junk in the South China Sea; being detained by Spanish border guards; and becoming caught in an Antarctic hurricane, just metres from reaching Shackleton’s grave. These extraordinary tales will leave you breathless, dazzled, and inspired by King’s persistence and sheer courage in bringing history to life.

The tale of one man's pursuit of an unshakable dream--a true story of swashbuckling adventures, classic tall ships, and a sailor's determination to prove himself right. It is the personal account of Captain Mike Burke and the Windjammer Barefoot Cruise line he built with his barefoot spirit and his iron will to succeed. This book offers an insider's view of how Captain Mike managed to save classic sailing ships from destruction, and put together one of the finest fleets in the world. Also included are stories of ships once owned by Aristotle Onassis, E.F. Hutton and his wife Marjorie Merriweather Post, and George Vanderbilt III, to mention only a few. While you may never experience the excitement of boarding a tall ship or feel the sea spray on your face as your ship glides through the ocean, you can come close by sharing these stories and pictures.--From publisher description.

You will find here a collection of some of my favorite tall ship stories, I have authored and illustrated. I carefully selected some of my best stories with conservatively dressed ships' spirits. It is my hope that they will make a nice display piece for any home's coffee table and offer not just amazing old stories from the sea, but interesting designs and artwork to enjoy. The collection ranges from stories of romance to tales of heroic survival, but there is bound to be at least one old sea story that catches the reader's fascination. All of the stories are based on actual news events reported in 18th and 19th century newspapers. The unique angle to each sea yarn is that I retell the event from the perspective of the ship. Old sailors of the bygone sailing era, often believed their ships had minds of their own. They would refer the ship as a she. When sea stories were retold, sailors would talk about her, as if she was a live character in the story. I figured, why not just make the ship a character; after all she was and is the most important character in all these sea sagas. She's the star of the show. When the weather has turned foul and storms threaten, it is the ship that the sailors all depend on to keep them alive. These tall ship stories are about stout-hearted men who went down to an unpredictable sea in ships that were sometimes malevolent, sometimes motherly. Rather than these being sea stories just about a bunch of men and ships, a feminine element can be present in the stories. By re-emphasizing the ship's place in the stories both men and women relate to the sagas. Overall, this collection is a recounting of a time in history that can be enjoyed forever.
