Excerpt from The Sea and Its Wonders Very few people know much about the sea. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. Yet, though ships have been sailing up and down the world for thousands of years, the Psalmist's words are true of only the merest handful of men in any generation. Even in our own age - the age of transport - comparatively few people have been to sea. The vast majority can never do so, for they live too far away from it. I read in the news paper the other day an appeal by a Leeds clergyman for funds to enable him to send to the seaside children in that city who had never seen the sea. Yet the coast is within a train journey of an hour and a half! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
