Notes:
A Cat's-Eye view of Maritime history.We remember the bold sea-farers of youre - from Magellan to Shackleton - for their extraordinary exploits: new lands discovered, storms weathered, and battles won. But somehow, history has neglected the stalwart, hardworking species who made it all possible...yes, the noble cat!In Seafurrers, able sea-cat Bart sets the record straight at last. "Fear of water" aside, cats were indispensable at sea - both as pest controllers and as beloved mascots. Thirty-eight tales recount the adventures of Trim (who circumnavigated Australia), Tom (the sole feline survivor of the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine), celebrity cat Simon ( a veteran of the Yangtze Incident), and other furry heroes.Filled with nautical trivia, rare photographs, and whimsical illustrations, this deft genealogy of human-feline friendship will stir your regard for the incomparable cat - whether on the couch or in the crow's nest!
