Hallo allerseits,
vor einigen Jahren bin ich in den Weiten des Internets auf diese Liste
The 101 Best Sea Books gestoßen. Das Original findet sich - mit ausführlichen Erläuterungen -
hier.
Ich habe schon gemerkt, daß es auch hier einige Liebhaber eines guten Seemannsgarns gibt (huhu Doris

), daher ist die Liste vielleicht von allgemeinem Interesse. Auch ich werde mich in der Zukunft weiter durch die Liste arbeiten.
