About

They love the sea, they love their companions, they love their girlfriends, their wives, and for a few hours they love the lovers they meet in ports around the world. They are sailors—and one of them wrote on his portrait, in the blue ink of a fountain pen: Love you always. From that sailor’s promise, and through a selection of more than one hundred and twenty anonymous photographs, European and American, taken between 1860 and 1960, this book tells the story of one of the most fascinating male figures.
