Books relating to seafaring and associated industries

Can't find a books forum or sub forum so putting thus under arts forum.

Interesting book I recent purchased is about the history of the oil industry around Maracaibo lake, Nene Grande etc Also includes about Netherland Antilles, Aruba, Curacao.

Name of book
The Enduring legacy -
Oil Culture and Society Venezuela

By Miguel Tinker Salas

Also covers WW2 time and pesky Uboat activity hitting the Mosquito run convoys with photos. Book spells out all the dynamics of the expat community in early days for oil company personnel and how it developed. eg Caribbean Shell etc.oil,

Author was brought up in Mene Grande and became university acedemic. Very factual book.

Can be bought as hard copy bookshops, Amazon and also iBooks.
