The First Glencannon Omnibus Containing SCOTCH AND WATER; HALF-SEAS OVER; THREE SHEETS IN THE WIND by Guy Gilpatric
The adventures of an inebriated but nevertheless excellent Scottish ship's engineer on the high seas. Hilarious book, grouchy old Scotch engineer on a crummy old boat, sailing around the world, making trouble... totally endearing antihero. One episode funnier than the next. Great dialects. Irreverent, absurd, and lovable.

Glencannon & Co. by Guy Gilpatric
Short stories from The Saturday Evening Post published from the 1930s to the 1950s, about an English tramp steamer and her crew of odd-balls. These are amusingly written, with an occasional Wodehouse-like line, but the ethnic humor hasn't worn very well with time.

Action in the North Atlantic by Lloyd Bacon
2022 movie #108. 1943. Captain (Massey) and 1st mate (Bogart) pilot a Liberty Ship across the Atlantic dodging Nazi subs. Meant as propaganda on the home front, but it's still an exciting and well made movie. Dedicated to the many merchant seamen who lost their lives in WWII.
