A Miscellany of the Sea and all Things Nautical
- What is the origin of the distress call 'Mayday'?
- How did the cod change the world?
- Where was history's most devastating wave?

Breverton's Nautical Curiosities by Terry Breverton is a treasure trove of the sea’s strangest stories, unsung heroes, oddball facts, and salty sayings. From forgotten admirals to pirate slang and shipwrecks to sea myths, this book sails through six quirky chapters packed with everything you didn’t know you wanted to know about life on—and around—the ocean. Dive in for tales of naval brilliance, bizarre maritime lingo, and the overlooked figures who helped shape history. It’s part history, part trivia, and all shipshape fun.
