Yankee Jack Sails Again

YANKEE JACK SAILS AGAIN

TONY JAMES

Inspired by the adventurous seagoing career of an old salt from his home town of Watchet, Tony James sets off in his Bristol Channel 'flattie' (familiar to those who enjoyed Up the Creek) to rediscover once-thriving life and commerce of the great number of ports, big and small, that line the coasts of Somerset, Devon and Cornwall between Bridgwater Bay in the north, to the Exe in the south. The result - entertaining, highly informative, and richly illustrated with archive and modern photos - is a unique record of the maritime Southwest and the living it drew from the Sea in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
