Did you know 70.8% of the Earth’s surface is covered by one vast interconnected ocean? That the most valuable shipwreck in the world is worth an estimated $17 billion? Or that on first sight, Christopher Columbus thought manatees were mermaids? The perfect book to dip or deep dive into, Nautical Wisdom is packed with facts about the oceans’ natural phenomena, its extraordinary flora and fauna, the ships that have sailed its oceans and seas, as well as stories about pirates and legends about mermaids. Readers will be immersed in all sorts of information ranging from the scientific and historic to the weird and fantastical – they can also learn how to make the perfect paper boat.
