SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Although there have been military, social & labour histories examining sailors, this is the first book to systematically integrate 'Jack Tar,' the common seaman, into the cultural history of modern Britain, treating him not as an occasional visitor from the ocean, but as an important part of national life.
