More on this Book

Lured by the mystique of John Masefield's sea poetry, Charles Turnbull spent the summer of 1941 as a sailor aboard the three-masted schooner Jean F. Anderson on a passage from Nova Scotia to Jacksonville, Florida. Although he found that sea life soon lost its romantic aura, Turnbull learned to appreciate his shipmates and the narrow but ever-changing confines of the sailor's world. With a graceful style he captures the sights, sounds, and flavors of life under sail, from the elemental simplicity of shipboard life to the maddening drift of the doldrums and even the terrifying force of a storm at sea.
