About this ebook
John Lascelles
John Lascelles was born in Auckland, New Zealand. He was educated in England at Royal Merchant Navy School, Berkshire and Canford School, Dorset. Aged 16, he joined the steamship 'Port Caroline' of Port Line Limited as Apprentice for a wartime Atlantic convoy in December 1944. As Second Officer (Navigating) with a First Mate's Certificate of Competency, he left the sea 8 years, 19 voyages, and 3 circum-navigations later. With a Diploma in Architecture (Oxford), he came to Australia in 1960 on the assisted passage scheme for British migrants. He designed the tourist attraction Cat & Fiddle Square and animated mural in Hobart, Tasmania. In 1962, he joined the National Capital Development Commission in Canberra for Civic Design. Australia's beautiful capital drew him back from Melbourne to Canberra in 1969 for more building design and construction in the Commonwealth Department of Housing and Construction. He retired from the Department's Central Office in 1989. His fascination with the mystery of Troy led him to decades of research and to explore Hisarlik (Truva-the false site) and Bergama Pergamon--the true site, in Turkey. The picture shows him in 1980 on the rocky brow at the summit of the mount that he believes is Homer's famous hill 'Kallikolone' in the Iliad. Troy-Seeker presents new insights in story form to identify the true location of Ilios and Troy and the true time of the Trojan War. Here is a love story for all who love sailing ships and the ways of the sea, and who would enjoy a solution to a mystery that has confounded scholars for two thousand years. He is also the author of a guidebook titled Troy: The World Deceived: Homer's Guide to Pergamon, to be published by Austin Macauley.
