Gulf Latitudes is a collection of twenty-four unknown tales and deep dives into this waterlogged history over the course of three centuries and brings to light events, people and a way of life on the water that have been lost to time, yet still surrounds us. Maritime journalist, author and Gulf Coast sailor, Troy Gilbert knows and understands the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and shares the history of the bays and estuaries along the shorelines. From uncovering an entire maritime culture of ex-slaves who plied these waters on wooden schooners to the origins of the Cajun Navy in World War II, the tales in Gulf Latitudes are not simply entertainment, but a very real cultural exploration that defines the modern Gulf Coast.

Troy Gilbert is a contributor to Sailing World, BoatU.S. Magazine, All At Sea, Tide, Southwinds, Bluewater Sailing, Mississippi Magazine, the Times-Picayune, as well as international magazines such as Asia-Pacific Boating, Cruising Helmsman and Caribbean Compass and as a monthly columnist for Southern Boating. In 2015, Troys work earned him a BWI Award for his story on an expedition to Mississippis Horn Island in BoatU.S. Magazine.
