Nautical Fiction List (Request for Info)
John Kohnen
March 16
Can anyone tell me something about the following titles?
Some are from the Nautical Fiction List, but lack descriptions or have
inadequate ones, others are waiting for a description so they can go into
the list, they may not even be nautical or fiction. I try hard not to
put anything into the list without a description of some sort, though of
course I'm quite imperfect in that regard. Send replies to:
Thanks!

Nautical Fiction List changes, version 31 to version 32, March 1997
Changes:
Abraham, Cyril
The Onedin Line series: (1860s British commercial shipping, British TV
series in the 1970s.)
The High Seas, 1975 (Callon makes a run for the Onedin Line, resulting
in the Onedins placing the future of the line on outcome of a tea
race.)
Evans, Alan 1930-
David Cochrane Smith Series:
Ship of Force, 1979 (Smith is given command of a motley collection of
rejects in the Dover Patrol and given the assignment of killing
U-boats through aggressive patrolling. He cannot convince his
superior of the futility of the task or get support to stop a German
surprise that he is expecting -- despite its potential to lose the
war for Britain.)
Fullerton, Alexander 1924- (RN officer until 1949)
Nick Everard series:
The Blooding of the Guns, 1976 (The Everards, Hugh, commanding a QUEEN
ELIZABETH-class battleship, David aboard an armored cruiser, and Nick
in a destroyer, see action and have their mettle tested at the battle
of Jutland.)
Johnston, Ronald 1926- (Had long and successful career in British Merchant
Navy.)
Inoco fleet series: (Novels set in the tanker fleet of the imaginary
Inoco Oil Company)
The Angry Ocean, 1968 (A revolutionary 500,000 ton tanker is on its
shakedown cruise when a nearby volcanic island erupts creating a
300-foot high tsunami. Survival is complicated by the need to rescue
nearby Japanese fishermen, rather than running away from the wave at
flank speed, and also by a structural flaw in the new supertanker and
the fact that mangaement has saddled her with two captains!)
Nelson, James
The Maddest Idea, 1997 (Captain Biddelcom, our hero from BY FORCE OF
ARMS, in command of the privateer CHARLEMAGNE is given a commission in
the Continental Army and sent on a mission to steal gunpowder from the
British in the Bahamas. This effort is foiled by a traitor, and
Biddlecomb is captured, but he manages to escape, and complete his
mission anyway. In the meantime, the aide that arranged the mission is
scouring Rhode Island for the traitor.)
Ransome, Arthur 1884-1967 (Ransome was introduced to the English Lake District
as a baby and spent many holidays and was partially educated there. He
became a writer and journalist and covered the Russian Revolution where he
met his second wife Evgenia who was Trotsky's secretary. They moved to live
in the Lake District when he began full time writing. Most of Ransome's
fictional locations are based on real places and so are many of the
characters and boats. SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS was written for the Altounyan
family, some of whose names he appropriated for the "Swallows". Both SWALLOW
and AMAZON were based on real sailing dinghies and MAVIS, the original
AMAZON, has been restored and is on display in Windermere. Later he moved to
East Anglia which became the setting for some of the other stories in the
series.)
Swallows and Amazons series: (Nominally juvenile; will appeal to the
traditionalist and to those who like Treasure Island. There is The
Arthur Ransome Society, (TARS), for the enthusiasts. There are now
several non-fiction books about all this, too.)
Swallows and Amazons, 1930 [1] (The Walker children get permission to
sail and camp on Wild Cat Island where they are attacked by the
AMAZON pirates. After some wild sailing adventures, the war is won
and an alliance concluded. Together they manage to capture a retired
pirate and find his stolen treasure!)
Peter Duck [2] (Written after SWALLOWDALE but chronologically before. A
story of buried treasure leads to an eventful sail down the Channel
and across the Atlantic to seek for the treasure of Crab Island. They
are pursued by the evil Black Jake and the VIPER. Despite the
attempts of Black Jake and his crew and the worst that weather can
do, they get back successfully.)
Swallowdale [3] (A near disaster to the SWALLOW causes the Walkers to
camp up on the fells away from the lake. There they experience some
aspects of Lakeland life, foil a surprise pirate attack from the
strangely constrained AMAZONs and climb Kanchenjunga. The story ends
with a classic sailing race between the SWALLOW and AMAZON.)
Winter Holiday [4] (The "Ds" on a winter holiday in the Lakes meet the
SWALLOWs and AMAZONs after signalling to Mars. They all become
involved in Arctic exploration during an unexpectedly prolonged
holiday. The climax is a dash to the North Pole followed up by
several rescue expeditions.)
Coot Club [5] The "Ds" go to the Norfolk Broads hoping to learn to
sail. They meet the Bird Preservation Society members, one of whom
gets into trouble with the "Hullabaloos" and has to go into hiding.
The "Ds" do learn to sail and go on a cruise through the Broads. They
are nearly caught by the "Hullabaloos" but instead the "Death and
Glories" have an opportunity to gain a reward.
Pigeon Post [6] (The SWALLOWs, AMAZONs and "Ds" seek gold on High Topps
and have dangerous adventures in the disused mines while trying to
foil the claim jumper Squashy Hat. Gold is found but it isn't what it
seems. The pigeons save the day by getting a message for help through
at a dangerous moment.)
We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea [7] (A short cruise in the estuary turns
into a frightening adventure when Jim Brading disappears. The
SWALLOWs manage to do the right thing even though they have to break
a promise and prove they are deep water sailors.)
Secret Water [8] (A mapping expedition leads to war with the EELs and a
near fatal encounter with the tides. Bridget becomes a human
sacrifice but the map looks incomplete. However, last minute voyages
mean that the expedition is crowned with success.)
Big Six [9] (There is more trouble on the Broads and the "Death and
Glories" are accused due to their unexplained wealth and presence at
the scene of the crimes. Together with Tom Dudgeon and the "Ds" they
manage to track down the real villain by using the methods of the
"Big Five" of Scotland Yard. In a dramatic climax the wrong doers are
caught in a flash.)
Missee Lee [10] (Captured by Chinese pirates, the SWALLOWs and AMAZONs
manage to win over the pirate leader in an unusual but unwelcome way.
They seem doomed to stay prisoners for ever. However, the rest of the
pirates think beheading is a better solution and so they have to
dance their way to freedom.)
The Picts and the Martyrs [11] (The "Ds" come to stay with the AMAZONs
but have to leave and set up house on their own when an unwelcome
visitor arrives to take charge. The AMAZON pirates have to become
well behaved martyrs while the "Ds" are well hidden "Picts". Despite
the problems the "Ds" learn to guddle fish, sail, burgle and even
skin a rabbit while the "Martyrs" manage to escape from their
imprisonment occasionally. The "Martyrs" sacrifice is worth it in the
end.)
Great Northern? [12] (Are they or aren't they? Unfortunately the one
man who can confirm Dick's sighting of the Great Northern Divers
wants them dead. The S
Hebrides make a unique discovery and have to foil the owner of the
PTERODACTYL while proving Dick's discovery is genuine. The savage
Gaels complicate matters but help out in the end.)
Coots in the North [13] (Unfinished fragments edited by Hugh Brogan.
The "Death and Glories" stow away on a boat transport to the Lakes.
There they meet the AMAZONs in an unpropitious manner. The rest of
the book is only an unfinished outline of their adventures together.)
(See also ARTHUR RANSOME AND CAPTAIN FLINT'S TRUNK by Christina
Hardyment, which is mostly a non-fiction description of her visits to
the known locations in the Ransome books and attempts to identify the
uncertain ones, but also includes an unused introductory chapter to
PETER DUCK showing how the story was made up by the children.)
Additions:
Abraham, Cyril
The Blazing Ocean, 1979 (Armed merchantman sails from North Africa to
Liverpool at the outbreak of WW II.)
Bax, Roger
Came The Dawn, 1955? (Two Englishmen sail to Estonia to smuggle their
Russian wives out of the Soviet Union.)
Blake, Patrick
Double Griffin, 1981 (U-Boat plans to bomb Times Square, New York on New
Years Eve 1944/5.)
Brown, Jamieson, 1916-?
Destroyers Will Rendezvous, 1959 (Three Australians find adventure and a
different way of life as naval officers on loan to the Royal Navy
during WW II. Notable for having a hero named Ramage.)
Catherall, Arthur, 1906-
Last Horse on the Sands, 1972 (A brother and sister risk their lives and
that of an old cart horse while trying to rescue victims of a plane
crash before the tide comes in. For young readers.)
Cave, Peter, 1940-? and Wreddon, Margaret
Pisces Rising, 1978 (Marine biologist H. Grossman is working in an
underwater city when the marine world strikes back at the dry land. An
eco-horror novel.)
Collenette, Eric J.
Sub-Smash, 1958 (Life aboard a RN submarine in peacetime. The sub and
occupants become trapped at the bottom of the sea.)
Crofts, Freeman Wills, 1879-? (Author of at least 32 non-nautical mysteries)
The Loss Of The Jane Vosper, 1936 (The first 40 pages are afloat, the
rest of the book solves the mystery. )
Downey, Bill
Black Viking, 1981 (Gunnar Black Wolf, son of a Viking lord and a Moorish
slave, grows up as one of the chosen of Odin and the companion of
prince Harald Finehair. He returns home from fun and freebooting to
find his adoptive parents, wife, and child dead, and vows vengance
against their slayer. In the course of this quest, he becomes outlawed
and is driven to lead a mighty raid against the Franks.)
Horan, James D.
Seek Out and Destroy, 1958 (Aboard the Confederate commerce raider LEE in
the dying days of the Civil War, as it wreaks havoc on the Yankee
merchant fleet -- even after the war ends. Novel closely based on
the exploits of the SHENANDOAH.)
Johnston, Ronald 1926- (Had long and successful career in British Merchant
Navy.)
Inoco fleet series: (Novels set in the tanker fleet of the imaginary
Inoco Oil Company)
Collision Ahead, 1964 (INOCO MONARCH, on her maiden voyage, collides
with a T-2 Tanker in the English Channel in clear weather during
daylight. Was the collision caused by the T-2's drunken captain or
mechanical failure, or did the MONARCH's retiring captain show bad
judgement?)
LaBarge, William M.
Sweetwater Sullivan series: (Modern USN aviators. Demonstrates that
carrier jocks had not changed much since Dan Gallery's STAND BY TO START
ENGINES, covered the same ground for the late '50s -- early 60s. A
general increase in the level of raunchiness exists, however.)
Road to Gold, 1993 (Sweetwater Sullivan tells a first-person tale of
joining the navy, going through flight school, and hunting drug
smugglers. Suffers from a high improbability factor.)
Sweetwater Gunslinger 201, 1983 (With Robert Lawrence Holt. Adventures
of fighter pilots aboard the USS KITTYHAWK during the late '70s --
early '80s told third person. Definitely pre-Tailhook, but hilarious
reading, while sending a moral message that Dr. Laura would approve.)
Hornet's Nest (Sweetwater Sullivan in F/A-18s in the Persian Gulf. Set
before the Gulf War was a gleam in George Bush's eye. Iranians are
the bad guys.)
L'Amour, Louis (Yes, the oatburner author)
(Just as with other authors that achieve fame late, L'Amour's growing
reputation as a literary writer led his publishers to reprint stories
written by L'Amour early in his career. Among the earliest were a
series of pulp fiction short stories set in the South Pacific and Far
East, based on L'Amour's experiences as a merchant seaman. L'Amour's
literary reputation would have been better served by allowing them to
languish in obscurity.)
Night Over the Solomons, 1986 (Collection of stories set in the Pacific
or South America in WW II or just after. Only one, Mission to
Siberut, is primarily nautical. It deals with an attempt by the
Germans to smuggle a set of Me 110s to the Japanese in December
1941.)
West From Singapore, 1987 ("Ponga Jim Mayo" and his tramp steamer
SEMIRAMIS range the South Seas in search of a fast buck and adventure
in the period between 1939 and 1941. Along the way they help British
Intelligence put down German and Italian efforts to smuggle in subs,
arm the natives, or other nasty Germanic activities.)
McKay, Simon
The Seas of Fortune, 1983 (Yankee captain and ship designer moves to
Charleston, begins developing revolutionary steamships, becomes a noted
blockade runner during the Civil War, and continues his struggle to get
steam accepted following that conflict.)
Raban, Jonathan
The Oxford Book of the Sea, 1992 (Editor. An anthology of short prose and
poetry about the sea, as well as excerpts from longer works.)
White, Robb, 1909-
Three Against the Sea, 1940 (Sea stories for children set in the West
Indies.)

The trouble with the school of experience
is that the graduates are too old to go to work.

Sabatini's Columbus was, I recall, pretty good, though perhaps a bit
ponderous.
Lawrence Schoonover's stuff is great, in general. His biography of John
Paul Jones (The Revolutionary) is very good reading, but my favorite work
of his is The Burnished Blade, a non-nautical work about an armorer in
the time of Joan of Arc. I can't find any of it around here, I'm
afraid.
How many books are titled Full Fathom Five? I think I counted three or
four in that list.
