DESCRIPTION:
"Captures the almost intangible bond between animal and owner. The pictures often show the animals being showered with attention by lonely sailors or reclining on deck in splendor. A treasure for pet lovers." Lloyd’s List
Animals at sea John G. Rosevear Rather short anecdotes, but excellent photographs.I did enjoy the book, and have given as a gift to another animal lover.
Selected from the collections of the National Maritime Museum, this book of engaging photographs and touching descriptions features a surprising range of animals and illustrates their extraordinary loyalty to their ships and fellow crew. The unforgettable images include dogs with Victoria Crosses and full naval burials; sailors teaching parrots unsavory phrases and using live bears as pillows; and a mongoose that had an unfortunate taste for the ship’s paint.
