An old wrecker who chased salvage from Newfoundland to Cuba remembers gales and lee shores; a hose-pipe ghost is laid; a ship called the Aurora Borealis is seized; a light-ship, a pump-man and a captain each get their story. Connolly’s tales of seamen are told mostly in their own voices.
Salty, vivid sea stories from a writer who knew ships and sailors firsthand. Download the free EPUB.
