  Channel Havens: Secret Inlets and Secluded Anchorages of the Channel - Yachting Monthly  
Kenneth F. Endean
Channel Havens is a cruising guide with a difference. Recognising that many of us would like to sail away from the crowd, Ken Endean introduces the reader to beautiful, unfrequented places within the Western English Channel, from the Solent to the West Country, Channel Islands and Northern France. Here are sandy bays, coves, reef anchorages and the upper reaches of river estuaries - places neglected by most pilot books - where one can experience the sense of discovery and adventure that is more usually associated with faraway cruising. Anyone who is attracted by the dramatic scenery of unspoilt coastal waters will treasure this guide from an experienced sailors who has gone before.

  Maritime Britain: A Celebration of Britain's Maritime Heritage   - Paul Heiney
Maritime Britain is an attractive, entertaining and highly informative celebration of the maritime heritage of the UK. Following themes such as Britain's lighthouses, the Scottish herring fleet, Cornish shipwrecks, the Armada's legacy, Lord Nelson's birthplace, Shetland and Fair Isle sweaters, the tea clippers and Thames barges. Paul Heiney gives a fascinating insight into Britain's rich nautical history and provides a practical gazetter of Britain's maritime museums, historic ships and coastal attractions. Britain is an island nation. Its music and literature are shot through with seafaring themes, and inspirational stories of trade, exploration, war and adventure are stamped upon its harbours and famous ships - but until now there has been no guidebook to Britain's 600 maritime museums and historic ships or to the coastlines and cliffs which form their dramatic backdrop. This unique book will be of equal fascination to tourists, historians, students and amateur enthusiasts, as well as being of interest to walkers and families on days out.
Paperback 320 pages (April 11, 2005); Publisher: Adlard Coles Nautical; Language: English; ISBN: 0713670916
