Home early from school, the narrator and his brother Oliver are invited on their father’s yacht for a cruise around the coasts of Britain. They sail the Solent and the south coast, round Land’s End, see a shipwreck and go out with a lifeboat, and call at Liverpool, Glasgow and many harbours, hearing history and sailors’ tales at each.
A blend of adventure, geography and Christian moral teaching from a favourite Victorian writer for boys. Download the free EPUB.
