Reference books for looking things up: maritime dictionaries, signal flag guides, language phrase books for foreign ports, and nautical terminology. A small but useful group of titles for the chart table shelf.
The dictionaries cover nautical terms in English and in translation. Signal flag guides explain the International Code of Signals and how to read flag hoists. The language books are aimed at sailors visiting foreign harbours and cover the kind of vocabulary you need for marina bookings, customs clearance and shore-side conversations.
