A Sailing Guide to the Solent and Poole Harbour - With Practical Hints as to Living and Cooking on and Working a Small Yacht

This book is intended to enhance the pleasure of those who go down to the sea in ships during the summer months cruising, in their temporary floating houses, along the beautiful southern shores of our island. It is hoped that this guide will prove useful to the experienced yachtsman, the owner of a large vessel, for he will find in it much information respecting places of interest up creeks and rivers, which, though too shallow for his yacht, are yet accessible to his steam launch and gig.
