The Old Man and the Sea

Ernest Hemingway

An old fisherman's epic battle with a giant marlin — spare, powerful, and the perfect companion for watching the ocean from the deck.

Moby-Dick

Herman Melville

The greatest sea novel ever written — obsession, whales, and the vast indifference of the ocean. Read the good parts on a sea day.

The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald

American dreams and Long Island Sound — Gatsby staring across the water captures something about watching the shore from a ship.
