Here is a twentieth-century classic that inspired a generation of nautical novels. Delilah is an old, four-piper destroyer whose regular beat is one of the world’s most exotic—and dangerous—bodies of water: the Sulu Sea. Set at the beginning of the American century just before the Great War, this novel tells the story of how the ship and her crew patrol the islands in the time of violent racial and religious unrest.
