This book, Navigating Britain's Coastline: Portland to Dover by Adrienne and Peter Oldale, consists of a series of views of the coastline drawn from a distance varying between half a mile and four miles out to sea. Beneath each view is a simplified chart of the corresponding area, and guidelines between view and chart pinpoint all the useful identification features.

Author Edmund Eglinton was born in 1902. Within a few years of leaving school, at the age of thirteen, he was sailing in the trows and ketches engaged in the local trade of the Severn and the Bristol Channel and continued to do so for the next fifteen years. Published by the National Maritime Museum in The Recollectios series - THE LAST OF THE SAILING COASTERS.
   
In the sailing craft the man at the helm is occupied in maintaining a balance between the forces acting upon her hull, and as soon as he realizes this he becomes a helmsman who is guided by feeling and intuition as well as by sight. E. G. Martin in HELMSMANSHIP explains!
Seamanship in the Age of Sail by John Harland and beautifully illustrated by Mark Myers is a modern, objective appraisal of the evidence, concerned with the actualities as much as the theory. The author's range of languages has enabled him to study virtually every manual published over a period of nearly four centuries. In order to explain even the most complex evolution clearly and concisely, over 350 line drawings were specially commissioned from Mark Myers
     
Pilot Aboard by John Radford, who served in the Royal Navy as a cadet until end of WW1. Merchant Navy between wars, Royal Navy 1939-1946 When he joined Trinity House Isle of Wight District becoming a Senior Pilot.
John Anderson in COASTWISE SAIL describes a few of the better-known of our coasting schooners and attempts to make this book a sort of miniature register of British sailing and auxiliary schooners. Now that the British square rigger is but a distant memory, more and more ship lovers are taking a keen interest in the humble hard-working schooner, so I trust this modest little volume will stimulate that interest. 1934
