Description
For thousands of years, we have set out sailing for all kinds of reasons - for battle, for infinite wealth, for the excitement of exploring the unknown, and for escape from the mundane. We have always had a primal relationship with the sea - even those who have never been to sea remain fascinated by the seafaring life and tales of salty adventure. Now in a brand–new series collection, The Best Sailing Stories Ever Told brings together such diverse authors as Charles Dickens, Jack London, John Masefield, Stephen Crane, Herman Melville, and dozens more. Many of the writers featured here are instantly recognizable and have achieved deserved fame; others who are lesser known and rarely featured in collections take their rightful place on the shelves of sailing literature.
Lovers of the open water will certainly get their fill with this shimmering sample of sea tales that range from the ancient epic and biblical to contemporary. Whether you’re itching for a sailor’s peaceful life at sea, his epic conquest of the azure blue, or his own private descent into madness, this collection touches on the many aspects of life at sea. Even if you are enjoying The Best Sailing Stories Ever Told from the warm, dry comfort of your own living room, you are sure to be inspired by the colorful and stirring stories in this timeless collection.

Quaint little stories
Just interesting short stories with small little Le messages. Kind of like bed time stories for adults. I wouldn’t call it the best stories ever. Just some stories connected to sailing.

Don't bother.
I'm only about half way through so it could get better but I highly doubt it. These stories are mostly boring and in no way "the best sailing stories ever told" I found myself yelling at the narrator numerous times to get on with it. There were a couple that I could tolerate but overall these stories had a hard time holding my attention. Maybe if you're on a long voyage and all of your other mean's of entertainment are no longer available, maybe then these stories might have a degree of entertainment value.

Couldn't finish this
The stories are rather short and pointless. They make little sense and are just dreary to listen to at all. I tried to get thru it all but could only get thru about 5 hours of it.

I loved this book!
If you enjoy the argot of sailing from the days of yore you'll love this book. Some stories are high adventure, some are comic and some are just plain stories of sailing journeys. Some language is, err, of it's time which probably accounts for the hate in the review column.
I enjoyed the narrator too.

Not the best or even close
if you're a fan of old school racism and misogyny you'll enjoy a good number of these. if not you'll have to skip a fair number of them.
