Way of a Ship
Angličtina
27 b
When, as a young man in the 1880s, Benjamin Lundy signed up for duty aboard a square-rigged commercial sailing vessel, he began a journey more exciting, and more terrifying, than he could have ever imagined: a treacherous, white-knuckle passage around that notorious graveyard of ships, Cape Horn.A century later, Derek Lundy, author of the bestselling Godforsaken Sea and an accomplished amateur seaman himself, set out to recount his forebears journey. The Way of a Ship is a mesmerizing account of life on board a square-rigger, a remarkable reconstruction of a harrowing voyage through the most dangerous waters. Derek Lundys masterful account evokes the excitement, romance, and brutality of a bygone era -- a fantastic ride through one of the greatest moments in the history of adventure (Seattle Times).
