About This Item
Vancouver: UBC Press, 1993. A fascinating account of the life at sea during the age of steam. Seafarers tell their own stories and remember the good times as well as the bad, in peace and war and during the depression. The author draws on interviews with master mariners, cooks, stewards and others who worked aboard steamships from 1920 to 1950. A glossary aquaints readers with nautical terms, and photographs illustrating the seafarers life add a vivid visual dimension to the reminiscences. Eric W. Sager is a Professor of History at the University of Victoria. Photo illustrated dust jacket. A bright copy.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
