Excerpt from A Tale of Troy
Tut, man! The Captain, who held the tiller, had ceased to look aft. His eyes were on the quay and the small town climbing the hillside above it in tier upon tier of huddled grey houses. Why, damme! Your landsman chooses to live ashore, to begin with. What's more, he can walk where he has a mind to, no matter where the wind sits.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the era of seamanship and the lives of those who sailed tall ships and beheld the beauty of distant lands. Its protagonist, Captain Caius Hocken, narrates his adventures that span forty years of service at sea, while sharing his wisdom and experience with those willing to listen. Dive into the fascinating history of nautical life in the late 19th century, when ships were still sailing vessels and the sea dictated all aspects of life aboard. The author goes beyond mere storytelling, delving into the very heart of what it means to be a sailor, the challenges of life at sea, the camaraderie, the bond with one's vessel, and the toll it takes on the soul. A lyrical and evocative tale that captures the essence of a bygone era and the allure of the open sea, this book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of friendship.
