The Adlard Coles Nautical Quiz Book is perfect for seafaring quizzers. It's divided into six nautically-flavored categories, each containing twenty rounds of graded questions. Categories cover: Personalities; History; Geography and weather; Literature and the arts; Technology, science and inventions; and Trivia. Each round is graded as easy (Able Seaman), medium (Midshipman) or tough (Hard Tack). A random sprinkling of nautical 'did-you-knows' adds a little salt to the mix.

- What is Captain Hook's first name?
- How do you make grog?
- What was scurvy?
- Where in America did the Mayflower land?
- Where are the Doldrums?
- What does 'over the yardarm' mean?

The Adlard Coles Nautical Quiz Book is the perfect stowaway for cozy evenings aboard or ashore.

Edited by Adlard Coles.

Review:

Will keep the crew guessing... sometimes for hours! * Classic Boat * Contains 1,000 questions to tax the nautical knowledge of anyone and everyone. Great post-Christmas dinner entertainment, but would equally keep you thinking throughout a family cruise. A good stocking filler that will both flummox and entertain. * Yachting Monthly * Perfect for seafaring quizzers. * All at Sea * The perfect pocket-sized book for seafaring quizzers. The perfect gift for a nautical boffin or as a companion for cosy evenings aboard or ashore. * Sea Breezes *
