Overview

Selected from the collections of the National Maritime Museum, this book of engaging photographs and touching descriptions features a surprising range of animals and illustrates their extraordinary loyalty to their ships and fellow crew. The unforgettable images include dogs with Victoria Crosses and full naval burials; sailors teaching parrots unsavory phrases and using live bears as pillows; and a mongoose that had an unfortunate taste for the ship's paint.
