About This Item
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: UBC Press, 1993. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. viii, 179pp., index, notes, biblio., photos. "Canada is a great maritime nation. Although ships and the sea have been part of its history for centuries, very little is known about the men and women who have worked in its coastal and lake fleets. 'Ships and Memories' is a fascinating account of life at sea during the age of steam. In it, seafarers tell ther own stories and remember the good times as well as the bad, in peace and war and during the depression. Eric Sager draws on interviews with master mariners, engineers, able seamen, cooks, stewards, and many others who worked aboard steamships from 1920 to 1950." Based on interviews on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada..
