… ” a cracking read” … “rich in marvellous anecdotes” … SMP Ships Monthly
Cruise back to the 1950s, before the days of low-cost air travel, and follow a teenager’s life at sea in the luxury liners that sailed the world’s oceans.
From Southampton to Capetown on board a Union-Castle liner. And then to Rio de Janeiro and down to Buenos Aires on a Royal Mail Lines steamer. Cross the North Atlantic from Southampton to New York in under five days on Cunard’s Atlantic Express liners Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, and lazily cruise the Caribbean on the Mauretania.
It’s all here, the fascinating stories and the extraordinary photographs of Ivan Berg’s time at sea from 1953 to 1957 when he jumped ship to follow his dream of being a writer. He went to sea to escape from grey, dull, and depressing post-war London, in search of adventure, to follow his seafarer heroes Jack London, Hemingway, Melville and Sabatini.
