The Guru of the Universe: A Collection of Sea Stories

These are personal memoirs of a Merchant Seaman as he struggles through his early years shipping out, to finally getting to the "big bed" as Captain. He ultimately becomes the Captain of the ship that found the Titanic in 1986, with Chief Scientist Dr. Robert Ballard on board. He describes how he was prone to seasickness and how he dealt with it. He explains how he sends 12oz styrofoam cups down to the bottom of the ocean on the submersible submarine "Alvin," and how they shrink down to the size of a thimble. And he mixes in a bunch of "sea stories," some of which are quite humorous, about the cast of characters that he's had to deal with during his 40-year career of going to sea.
