Three-quarters of the planet, and the trades that live off it. Ingersoll takes the ocean whole: the currents and the creatures, the whalers and the lighthouse keepers, the building of a ship and the working of a port, written for young readers on the assumption that the sea deserves to be understood before it is admired.
