Shallow Water Sailor
ISBN: 9781517265137 / Angielski / Miękka / 602 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The term shallow water sailor, sometimes jokingly applied to Coast Guardsmen, has its origins in the misconception that Coast Guard duty keeps one close to land. Indeed, there are many Coast Guard duty stations that are land based-and for obvious reasons. But Coast Guard duty can take one into any or all of the seven seas of this planet. This story begins on land, but through subsequent assignment takes the reader quite a distance from land and into some intimacy with the deeper parts of mother ocean. The time of this story is the era from 1956 to 1960. Eisenhower was President for a second...
