About this ebook
Anticipation of adventure pushes a young man to head to sea to work on ships. This narrative describes the process of pursuing a seagoing position, chronologizing over three decades of his career and of running the latitudes and longitudes around the world. Sailing on a large spectrum of vessels, including freighters, tankers, bulk carriers, and cruise ships, the book describes the changes experienced within the industry, ranging from navigation, to propulsion, to pollution laws, and to communications. Accounts of shipboard life for men and women while at sea or in port further enhances the narrative.
