High Water at Four by Jerrard Tickell. First 1965. H/C with jacket. 220 pp.

A vivid description of life as a passenger aboard a Greek oil-tanker.

Dismissed by his ship after a trivial collision at sea and jilted by his fiancée, Peter Millerton accepts a rest cure at sea offered to him by a Greek ship owner. The ship sails to an undisclosed and unexpected destination - a police-ridden Stalinist state with young women to entertain foreigners ... and with the ship and her cargo as the prize.
