An account of the ocean and the ships and people that sail it; the author makes the case for an unglamourous life filled with danger and seedy actions. Two chapters are devoted to the Estonia, the horrible ferry sinking that claimed the lives of nearly 1000 people. This book is by the author of "American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center."
