Publisher's Synopsis
This is a collection of stories about the men I sailed with during my forty-one years at sea, forty-one years that began in 1950. Many started from a humble back ground, others from wealthy parentage and there were some who began life in the Homes for Misplaced Children. They became united members of the family of officers and men on board ship and each had stories to tell. This always leads to an amazing assortment of tales about other ships, other companies, other corners of the world and other fellow officers they had sailed with. All Merchant Navy Officers have great to stories to tell. These are some of mine.
