A Sailor's Yarn is a warm adventure set on the Great Lakes in the early twentieth century. There are great storms, love stories, and pirates. It is all wrapped in the study of a man coming to faith. You will meet the sultan, a larger-than-life character. There is a one-armed sailor, a cat named Habebe, a five-star chef, and their loves. Robert Loomis is the captain that leads his crew from one exciting adventure to the next. There is a city burning and a battle on Lake Erie. The entire story is buried in a layer of humor that will keep you snickering. It culminates in one of the worst storms recorded on the Great Lakes, the "White Water Fury". Come back to a simpler time where people took the time to live, laugh, and love. Feel the power of the storm.

Anyone could swear like a sailor! Within the larger culture, sailors had pride of place in swearing. But how they swore and the reasons for their bad language were not strictly wedded to maritime things. Instead, sailor swearing, indeed all swearing in this period, was connected to larger developments. This book traces the interaction between the maritime and mainstream world in the United States while examining cursing, language, logbooks, storytelling, sailor songs, reading, images, and material goods. To Swear Like a Sailor offers insight into the character of Jack Tar - the common seaman - and into the early republic. It illuminates the cultural connections between Great Britain and the United States and the appearance of a distinct American national identity. The book explores the emergence of sentimental notions about the common man - through the guise of the sailor - appearing on stage, in song, in literature, and in images.
