Add a CommentA wonderful real life series of adventures at sea by a great story teller. Many parts were simply gripping and as a whole the book stands up well to caomparison with works of the great writers of the sea such as Peter Freuchens and Joseph Conrad (exalted company!)
The levels of human endurance and raw courage displayed by the officers and crew are almosrt beyond belief, and yet the book rings of truth in every page.
A great read!
