BOATS MARITIME

Around the World in the Four-Masted Mosulu.

This volume provids a pictorial companion to the author’s previous work “The Last Grain of Sand”, and traces him sailing 30,000 miles around the world as an 18 year old on the four-masted barque ‘Moshulu’.
From the perspective of 60 years on Eric Newby looks back with characteristic humour to his young self and his days on board ‘Moshulu’ and pays tribute, with his photographs, to these magnificent ships and their crews. No one with a love of the sea or a sense of the past could fail to be moved and excited by them.
