Column Out Of Books How to Avoid Huge Ships

This was bought for me as a joke, but I took it quite seriously. I loved it. The advice here works on many levels, for landlubbers as well as sea dogs. See what I mean at: Sects and Violence in the Ancient World.

Mostly skimmed. Giggled a lot. I feel much more confident about huge ships now.

How to Avoid Huge Ships by John W. Trimmer (1993)

Indispensable; whether you dwell in the slums of Bombay or in the high rises of New York, this book will be equally useful.

Okay, I admit it, when I first heard about this book, I chuckled at the title. Of course it's obvious how to avoid huge ships... just don't get in their way. But then I started wondering what could actually be in this neat little volume that would have made a second edition necessary. I started checking local libraries for a copy. I didn't find any, because it's fairly obvious we don't have many (or any) huge ships here in Utah. Curiosity got the better of me and I started looking for a copy at

I was annoyed that after reading the book, I showed up for a 4 day cruise, and the ship wasn't there.

Thank god I was able to find and read this book. Before, I was being blasted by large ships on an almost daily basis. Now, I only get hit by huge ships about once or twice a month. Still having trouble with small ships. The end of this book left on a cliffhanger...maybe how to avoid moving houses next? *crosses fingers*
