A Commoner Who Sailed with Royalty, a Boatbuilder, and a Designer Better Known for His Writing

Remembering those who influenced how we respond to boats, ships, and the sea—we continue our series of short biographical sketches.

A yacht designer, a cartoonist, and a novelist.

A trio of fine writers: two champions of small boats and one of adventure and romance.

A poet, an historian and a forgotten man.

The first in a series of short biographical sketches dedicated to remembering those who influenced how we respond to boats, ships, and the sea.
