Excerpt from Our Heritage the Sea This being so (and I have not the slightest fear of its being questioned), I feel that no apology is needed for my present attempt to present, in a series of sketches, the salient points concerning our heritage the sea, while fully conscious of my many limitations and scanty equipment for so important a task. In this respect I may say that I have endeavoured to summarize in readable fashion the substance of many most important works upon the sea, and set the summary forth in the light of personal acquaintance, in the hope that, without my book being definitely entitled a romance, it will be found genuinely romantic in the highest sense.
