The book Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr. is the story of a nautucal journey from Boston to California and back. Conditions on sailing vessels for crew were horible at the time, this book helped to change that. If you’re looking for something nautical to read, this book would fit the bill.
Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry; We’ll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y. Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray! Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh. Farewell to foreign shores, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay. Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam, Until we meet once more, Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home. And so we sing, and sail away, only to visit Davy Jones’ locker another day.

One phrase that we like here at Harbor News is above board, meaning in plain view, or not hiding anything, stemming from an item being on a ship’s deck.
