"The result of Robert Carter's rare opportunity to acquire first-hand information about the last of the wind-driven ships from the final generation of sailing ship sailors. This book is a fascinating blend of interviews with the last survivors of the wind-ship sailors, real-life stories from their final 50 years in the last great sailing ships, extracts from their diaries, and poems. The book is illustrated with 42 of Robert Carter's beautiful, detailed paintings of these great sailing ships."
