It’s the big finish! I’ve been so pleased with the lovely reviews for Sailing In Style and this release month has churned right by. So let’s end with a splash, shall we? Let’s make a list of all the famous boats that have chugged their way into books and film. I’ll start.
The Titanic: Who hasn’t heard about the famous British passenger liner that was lost to an iceberg in 1912? The Titanic lives on via books and films and I’ve even heard that there are plans afoot to build another Titanic!
Your turn! Add to the list via a blog comment and you’re entered to win a signed book and a ‘boat in a bottle’ necklace. Winner announced this weekend! All aboard!

HMS Bounty … enjoyed that story (about the mutiny), both as a book and as a musical.

The USS Sea Tiger from the film Operation Petticoat with Cary Grant. Technically, it’s a submarine but I really like that movie. Also, The Pacific Princess from the Love Boat and The Posiden from The Poseidon Adventure.

I just love that name…The Pequod. What exactly is a Pequod, anyway? 🙂
