Excerpt from The Men on Deck: Master, Mates and Crew, Their Duties and Responsibilities, A Manual for the American Merchant ServiceThe American who goes to sea to-day will not content himself with minimum requirements. He means to be more than a ten-per cent seaman. War emergencies have sent many men out on blue water who formerly would never have reached the deck or bridge. They know their limitations all we can do is to point out the way.The Author will welcome suggestions and criticisms from officers and men of the Merchant Marine who happen to read the pages of this book. Standard practice at sea is desirable, and such practice can best be achieved by some common ground upon which all minds may meet and reasonably agree.Letters addressed in care of my publishers, D. Van Nos trand Company, 2 5 Park Place, New York, will be forwarded to me and be appreciated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
