| Publisher Description: Avast Ye Scurvy Dogs Climb aboard and immerse yourself in the nautical tales of olde New England. You'll find it all here - the skeletal crew that drove a treacherous sea captain to madness; the long and bloody history of Nix's Mate in Boston Harbor; the Mooncusser who has to shovel out a sandbar for eternity; a fire and brimstone preacher who engaged the Devil himself in mortal combat; the bizarre gibbet erected on Boston Common to accommodate three criminals at once; and the sea serpent that keeps coming back to Gloucester, just to terrify the locals. There's blood and salt water in all of these tales. So settle back, pour a glass of rum, and get ready for some of the darkest legends ever to rise from the ocean depths. |
