‘Mr. Smyth is one who loves the sea and ships. One sees in every sentence that a sail, a mast, a spar, are to him things of delight. He rejoices in the texture of ropes, in the smell of tar, and in the ring of deck planking underfoot; and it is just his love and understanding of these things that enables him to make close on 400 pages dealing with the different rigs and builds of boats of every kind, pages of real interest to the most ignorant of land-lubbers. . . . Full of interest and charm—the charm of the sea.’—County Gentleman.
