The South Sea Whaler Between the ships of the two private armed navies, encounters were common; and the battles were often fought with courage and seamanship worthy of the regular navy. The Naval History of the United States Volume 1 Our difficulty is to find men who combine knowledge of business with that of seamanship and navigation. Roger Willoughby A Story of the Times of Benbow “I am not so conceited with my seamanship as to trust entirely to myself,” I answered. Mark Seaworth I knew perfectly well which was the fore-topsail, but how to loose it was a piece of practical seamanship of which I was as yet entirely ignorant.

Salt Water The Sea Life and Adventures of Neil D'Arcy the Midshipman British historians concur with those of our own country, in saying that the "Constitution," in seizing the advantages of the breeze, showed far better seamanship than did her enemies. The Naval History of the United States Volume 1 Roger’s great object had been from the first to master all the details of seamanship. Roger Willoughby A Story of the Times of Benbow He was only perfectly confident when he had a coast he knew well on his weather beam; and then he was rather apt to boast of his knowledge of seamanship and navigation. Mark Seaworth I had learned enough seamanship by this time fully to comprehend what Mr Henley meant. My First Voyage to Southern Seas Good seamanship may enable us to keep, the ship afloat, but God only can provide us with water.” Salt Water The Sea Life and Adventures of Neil D'Arcy the Midshipman The captain was constantly on deck, exhibiting on all occasions his splendid seamanship. Peter Trawl The Adventures of a Whaler Indeed, perfectly unknown as I was, with slight pretensions to a knowledge of seamanship, I could not hope to obtain any other berth. Peter the Whaler I found that I had more work and less pay than any one on board; but I learned seamanship and practised navigation, which was considered an equivalent for my services. Mark Seaworth “I must compliment you, monsieur, on your skilful seamanship,” I said.

Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade We all had confidence in Mr Griffiths’s skill; and as he had, by his good seamanship, preserved our lives before, we hoped that we should again escape. Peter Trawl The Adventures of a Whaler He used to take great delight in describing the countries he had visited, and the ports and harbours in which he had brought up, as also in giving me instruction in all branches of seamanship.

Paddy Finn The first mate was seldom off the deck, and Crowfoot, the boatswain, showed that he did not boast without justice of his seamanship.

Hurricane Hurry “I have been mortally afraid that the book-learning would drive your seamanship out of your head.” Charley Laurel A Story of Adventure by Sea and Land On this occasion also I made good use of my time, by adding considerably to my knowledge of seamanship, and by studying navigation. The Cruise of the Dainty Rovings in the Pacific “I paid you a sum for my passage, as also to learn seamanship, and not to be treated as a slave.” Peter the Whaler “I don’t doubt your knowledge of seamanship and navigation, and gladly accept your offer,” answered the captain.
