Lighthill, James: "Waves in fluids"? Yes, our library has several
copies. However, I happened to pick up "Mathematical theory of wave
motion" by G.R. Baldock and T. Bridgeman; it might be just enough.

But I'm leaving for a three-week sailing vacation on Sunday, and
shall, for some time, be concentrating on real waves instead of
theoretical ones.
