{"product_id":"folklore-of-the-sea-margaret-baker-book","title":"Folklore of the Sea | Margaret Baker | Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy did sailors observe particular taboos, carry lucky objects or tell stories of ships condemned to wander for ever? Margaret Baker explores the beliefs that helped maritime communities make sense of danger and uncertainty. Ghost ships, sea creatures, weather lore and the rituals surrounding a vessel’s construction and launch all have a place in her collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hardback edition includes illustrations by Philip Harris. Its interest lies as much in everyday customs as in the supernatural: the songs, ceremonies and precautions through which generations of seafarers expressed their relationship with the sea. A distinctive addition to a maritime library, it brings the cultural life of ships and fishing communities alongside their practical history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull title:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folklore of the Sea: Myths and Legends of the Maritime World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e David \u0026amp; Charles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781446315590\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13\/05\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied to order, subject to availability.
