George E. Murphy once again shares his
memories from his forty- three-year career with United States Lines. In Scuttlebutt, his second book,
he recounts true stories from his time spent aboard both cargo and passenger ships in numerous ports of call, as well as on the piers and in the corporate offices. This telltale book includes humorous anecdotes
and sea stories, picking up from his previous book, It Didn't Happen
On My Watch, to the company's bankruptcy in 1986 and his retirement.
Come aboard and relive some of the wild
adventures Murphy was privileged to experience in the various engineering
positions he held. In this second collection of sea stories, he fondly remembers the hilarious antics and embarrassing moments of the people with whom he worked. From the captains to engineers to the crew, their stories are immortalized in these tales of Scuttlebutt.

It Didn't Happen on My Watch
Written from the unique down under perspective of the engine room, It
Didn't Happen On My Watch spans over 40 years United States Lines history from
W.W.II and its glory years to its slow decent into bankruptcy. But Murphy
doesn't stop at his own stories. The stories of his shipmates and the many
fascinating people he encountered on the seven seas are fair game as well.
The humorous, the heroic, the ridiculous. The cook who lost his finger
while saving the life of a sailor who, moments before, pushed the cook off a
life raft after their ship was torpedoed. The famous actor who lost his pants in
the first class ballroom. The botched burial at sea that turned into an
international incident.
The wartime antics that will leave you wondering how we ever won the
war. These and many other stories, accompanied by fascinating photos, make
Murphy's book one you will want to read and share with all your friends.
