The Sailors' Prayer Book is a devotional manual written by James Reid McGavin in 1852. The book is intended for sailors who are at sea, as well as their families who are at home. It contains a collection of prayers, hymns, and religious readings that are meant to provide comfort and spiritual guidance to those who are often far away from home and facing the dangers of the sea. The book includes prayers for specific occasions, such as before setting sail, during a storm, and upon arrival in port. It also includes a variety of religious texts, including psalms, passages from the Bible, and excerpts from other religious writings.
