THE RHYTHM OF THE TIDE: TALES THROUGH THE AGES OF CHICHESTER HARBOUR
by Jeremy Thomas
This is the first book about the splendid world mecca for sailors: Chichester Harbour, to have wonderful colour photography in it, by Iain McGowan, Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society.
Beautifully written by a man has sailed in the Harbour waters all his life, it consists of a series of tales, from Roman times to World War II’.
The tales are interspersed with Interludes describing aspects of the area…
‘The rhythm of the tide gives the Harbour its life. The Harbour is not easily confined. Nor does the stand of high water last for long. Starting at the edges of the channels, the old rhythm begins all over again. The tide turns slowly at first, and slowly gathers its strength…’ The book has been warmly reviewed, nationally and internationally.
