A heartwarming true-adventure that tells the story of an ordinary family man who dared to chase an extraordinary dream. In 1965, copy editor Robert Manry set sail solo from Falmouth, Massachusetts, aboard his tiny 13½‑foot sailboat—and, 78 days and 3,200 ocean miles later, he emerged in Falmouth, England, hailed by a flotilla of small craft and thousands of cheering onlookers.

 

Unbroken - Alastair Mars:

a riveting firsthand account of daring naval warfare in the Mediterranean during World War II. Commanding the compact, 600‑ton submarine HMS Unbroken at just 26 years old, Mars navigates intense danger—surviving over 400 depth charges, sinking more than 30,000 tons of enemy shipping, and even crippling two Italian cruisers during the legendary Operation Pedestal to resupply besieged Malta
