An author's note introduces Beaufort's maritime wind-force scale before sending readers on a fictional 1805 transatlantic voyage with twelve-year-old midshipman William. Verso pages, peppered with spot illustrations, present an engaging, if somewhat disjointed, collection of information: wind measurements (from 0 [calm] to 12 [hurricane]), excerpts from William's letters, and different nautical facts. Malone's soft-focus paintings, on recto pages, are gorgeously detailed. Glos.
