Description
Song of the Sirens by Ernest K. Gann is a captivating account of one man's enduring passion for old boats and the sea.

Gann's stories are rich in detail and colorful characters, offering poignant insights into the human relationship with the sea. Like the sirens of Greek mythology, his ships are seductresses, tempting and urging him on until he plunges forward into their purchase, often without fully considering the risks involved. This book is a thoughtful exploration of the allure of the sea and the vessels that sail upon it, revealing the complexities of human passion and the dangers that can accompany it.
