Song of the Sirens Book

"Song of the Sirens is rich in detail, colorful characters, and poignant insights. It is the story of one man's love affair with the old boats he has owned or chartered. Focusing on his favorites (his 17 sirens), the book explores the fascination man has with the sea and attempts to explain the allure of the vessels he has designed to sail upon her.

And dangers there are aplenty.Read More

  • Product Description

    Few men have lived a life of such challenge and adventure as Ernest K. Gann. In the best selling Fate is the Hunter, he recounted his many years in a professional flying career. In a similar fashion, Song of the Sirens is the story of the ships he has sailed and owned; of his years as master of a commercial fishing vessel, of ocean crossings and of storms and emergencies encountered at sea. Song of the Sirens steps aboard seventeen of Gann s most beloved vessels. Filled with moments of both high drama and reflective calm, Gann s ode to his seventeen sirens reveals the true romantic within every sailor. Ernest K. Gann was a sailor, a pilot, and above all, a writer.
