Not to wander too far off but, I have always admired the history of British seamanship back when they really did rule the waves, but two feats stand out as probably the most incredible in the annals of seamanship: Captain Bligh's voyage to Timor post-mutiny and Ernest Shackleton's voyage of the James Caird. The former was probably the greatest singular feat of seamanship in all of history and the latter one of sheer courage, audacity & desperation for survival. Please read on these two incredible stories as these men deserve to be remembered.
