The lingo
There is a site for old sailors, ' sailor's photos'. they tell their stories, tales like a voyage from London to Rio and the drinking hole there, but- frankly- what difference is between a sailor and a tourist, the time- the era, and what is so called sea literature. I know it's not a simple recollection from the seaman life in a seaport and in a drinking house.
i just know the time in which we now live -not give birth any sea literature nor great or little story - because the raice who occupied those poop decks of the ocean tramps the folk is gone - never return.
i was sixteen when I joined my first coal burning ocean tramp- that time there were the crew of 23 aboard -all told, it was much more than - for example on board four masted sailing ships, How the Condard said : 'The ships are ships- is the men in them'
