I grew up on the Jersey shore and adore anything and everything to do with the sea....from the sand, sea glass, to anchors and waves....I love boats,and even the smell of the salty water. Although I get extreme motion sickness, I adore it all. <br /> I have read many books...from age 8 through <br />now 37. I have read Gilbert Morris' and MaryLu Tyndall and even classics. I even enjoy the paddle wheel steam boats. Recently we went to Missouri and we loved seeing the old time boats right near the Arch.<br /> <br /> I would love to be entered.

Luckily a group of men came and pulled us in to shore (thankfully they felt sorry for us). It made for some fun memories from college. I have read all of MaryLu Tyndall's pirate books along with Linda Chaikin's books. Also read a book recently about the Titanic called Promise Me this by Cathy Gohlke and liked it.

One was a Frank Yerby novel that I read years ago about slave trading. I think The Immigrants by Howard Fast was a novel that began on a ship. One of my favorite books as a teen was Kon-tiki. Does that count? It was only a raft, so I guess not. Good book, though.<br />may_dayzee (at) yahoo (dot) com KayMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972922396306756344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-61641117605216692782013-05-15T14:24:35.901-04:002013-05-15T14:24:35.901-04:00I have read quite a few Christian novels that were...I have read quite a few Christian novels that were set aboard ship, one of the earliest was the Song Of Acadia series which had several shipboard sections. Some of my favorite shipboard stories are MaryLu Tyndall's books, as well as Linda Chaikin's. I have also read a few for school including a Rover Boys book, one of the Ruth Fielding books, Treasure Island, Four Navel Heroes, Captain's Courageous..... Not to mention a few Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books. I think my reading has been pretty salty of the years. <br />Even though I am a mountain girl and have only been to the sea once, saw the Pacific Ocean for a couple of hours, lighthouses, ships, and the sea have all had a pull on me since I can remember.<br />Jasmine A.<br />montanamade(at)gmail(dot)comJasmine A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01541779625996757030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-70592841963822217632013-05-15T13:13:40.248-04:002013-05-15T13:13:40.248-04:00Sounds great!!Sounds great!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-10327311277077307582013-05-15T13:07:53.645-04:002013-05-15T13:07:53.645-04:00Great article Laurie Alice.

Still trying to convince my husband that pirates can become Christians too! I have no sailing experience other than a cruise OR frog gigging with my uncle and daddy, as a kid.

I&#...Thanks for the interesting post, Laurie Alice. I've read all of Marylu Tyndall's books, and almost all of them include at least some time aboard a ship. A long time ago, I read a secular book called The Captain's Wife, written by a local author. It's an interesting tale about the <br />wife of the ship's captain who oversees the voyage after he takes ill. I even wrote a book called Mutiny of the Heart that has several scenes on a ship.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-90794444951838133882013-05-15T10:59:59.914-04:002013-05-15T10:59:59.914-04:00How wonderful to have ship paintings.

I went to a tall ships festival in Milwaukee and got lots of pictures. I need to get them scanned, esp. the one of me standing in the rigging.
