Books set at sea

Stories that happen on the water, where storms, ships and open horizons shape what the characters can do. Ursula K. Le Guin's The Farthest Shore sends Ged sailing to the edge of the world, Rick Riordan's The Sea of Monsters takes Percy across dangerous waters, and Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken tells the true story of an airman adrift in the Pacific. Voyages, naval battles and shipwrecks all count.
