Work is Lenora Carrington's favorite four-letter word... "And work is what people were created for, is it not?" After all... "You can't buy money with happiness...can you?" Carrington Cory Carrington, president & Chairman of the Royal Scot Dunedin Bank & Trust of New Zealand, sits in a large leather chair dispensing wisdom to his depositors: "Safe & sound in every respect. Yes, sound & safe." This is a knowing flat out lie! But fortunately for the local peace of mind, no one in the community is aware of that yet. Carrington's only concern now days is his other corporation which lies across the Pacific in America: The Norfolk, Danville & Pacific, a railroad that hasn't yet been built but bought & paid for so generously (& unknowingly,) by the depositors of the Royal Scot Dunedin Bank & Trust--no less. Abner de Amory Decatur, Carrington's neighbor, long time friend & member of the Board of Directors, also has problems. Serious ones! Abner's nice home on Lord of Isles Road, a pleasant place surrounded by fine yards & gardens, will soon have to be left behind like everything else. In 1860, New Zealand was a new country with prosperity for the taking. And take they did! Now two prominent Dunedin families--under cover of darkness & a cloudy sky--must hastily board the tramp steamer Cartagena Castle, which awaits to transport them from the shores of New Zealand & out of the reach of the Court of Queen's Bench, to the shores of yet another new country: America, land of the free & home of the brave & a sucker born every minute. Third Mate on a Tramp is a beautifully written & funny novel that chronicles the lives of two families who by design & chance conquer the financial, legal & political frontiers of California. Historically accurate, Third Mate on a Tramp is required reading for history buffs & connoisseurs of humor alike.

The late 1950s, twilight years of the British Empire, saw the end of the era of the 'tramp steamer' - coal-burning merchant ships that 'tramped' from port to port in the days before bulk carriers, hunting for any cargo that needed hauling to any place. In this marvelous memoir Christopher Lee offers the diaries of a 'Lad' much like himself who, at the age of 17, took his first job aboard the tramp ship Empire Heywood. Over two years this Lad would get to travel through the Suez canal, into the Indian Ocean and across the Pacific - so acquiring a panoramic view of the fading empire - before returning home to England as a man. The diaries give a splendid account of all the dramas of life aboard ship, with an eccentric cast of characters and a wealth of lively seafaring language. A third-person narrative from the author provides invaluable historical context.

"Burgoyne, however, was one of the luckier ones. Forsaking the lure of gunnery, torpedo, and engineering, he was specializing in navigation and seamanship when the "cut" came. Without loss of time he had sat for and obtained first a Mate's and then a Master's Board of Trade Certificate, and with these qualifications, aided by a certain amount of influence, he obtained the post of Fourth Officer in the British Columbian and Chinese Shipping Company..." Percy F. Westerman was a prolific author of children's literature, many of his books adventures with military and naval themes.

The Columbianna, an ancient tramp steamer with a notably eccentric crew, 200 layers of paint on her decks, a sailing history going back to 1945, and demons in her plumbing, was crossing the Atlantic for the umpteenth time—but on this occasion with a sharp-eyed observer, whose brilliant account brings to life the harshness, humor, and bizarreness of life on board. Steaming to Bamboola is a story of the author's time at sea. He tells first-hand about typhoons, cargoes, smuggling, mid-ocean burials, rescues, stowaways, hard places, hard drinking, and hard romance. It is the tale of a ship and her crew, men fated to wander for a living—always steaming to, but never quite reaching, Bamboola. This was the first book by renowned author and humorist Christopher Buckley, which was originally published in 1982 to glowing reviews. Forty years and over twenty books and hundreds of articles later, Buckley introduces Columbianna and her roguish crew to a new generation of readers.
