Publisher's Synopsis
George Holmes lived from 1861 to 1940 and was an avid and accomplished sailor in small craft of his own design, in British waters and in mainland Europe, and his prolific writing and drawing have left us an absorbing and charming record of his cruises, his boats, and the people and places he encountered. 'Holmes of the Humber' is a nautical book and a social document. Look within to appreciate the pioneering days of cruising under sail.
