Sinossi
Always at Sea recounts the exploits of William Donald who went to sea as a boy in 1912 and stayed in the Merchant Navy for almost fifty years. Over the years he proved himself a very able and entirely reliable mariner - in fact he made an outstanding master. In the course of his career he dealt with most incidents with aplomb: eccentric captains and crews, a crazy baboon and a submarine chase and subsequent grounding.
The years between the wars were full of incidents including a cargo of bones, a steadily-expanding fireman and the sinking of a tanker, while the Second World War brought endless convoy gun watches and sleepless nights. It is readily apparent that Donald, and other seamen like him, were owed much by their employers, the shipping lines, for their professionalism and dedication. There is much of interest here for anyone who likes the sea or is looking for an entertaining read.
