The page fore-edges have some foxing spots/browning, but none internally. The 'Petrified Mariner' of the title is the author himself, who bought "an old motor fishing vessel, an Ex-Admiralty cutter 'Sanu', and set off on a series of increasingly ambitious (and adventurous) cruises - to Europe - France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and later via Spain and Portugal to the Mediterranean."
