"This book depicts the relationships of mariners with their vessels and the sea. Each photograph chronicles a fragment of the mariner''s experience over the past 200 years - shipbuilding, the making of a wooden skiff, commercial fishing and whaling, amateur sailing, deep-sea diving, naval encounters, and much more." "In his introduction, John Szarkowski shares his artistic rationale for selecting the particular images that appear in this book. Benson''s essays, which accompany the photographs, unify image and story in a vignette of time and place, of historical, societal, and individual meaning." "This book is the catalogue for a traveling exhibition that will open in December 1997 at The Mariners'' Museum in Newport News, Virginia."--BOOK JACKET.

This book is designed to help you in many ways. While its main objective is to save you money, precisely how much you wish to save depends on you. There are ways to save a little and other ways to make greater savings. Some require very little in the way of effort, others are not possible without a certain degree of sacrifice or compromise in your life. Most of us do not earn as much as we think we need, and are constantly left wishing for that little bit extra. This book will not necessarily make you money, which is a different area altogether, but it will help you to utilise what money you.
