Famed explorer Peter Freuchen drew on his vast knowledge of nautical fact and legend, as well as his fantastic personal experiences, to write his Book of the Seven Seas. The book essentially puts the world's oceans between two covers, beginning with how the seas were formed and going on to explain the actions of the winds and tides, the variety of marine life, and man's ocean-going history.
