A vivid memoir from George Young, who left school early to pursue a lifelong passion for ships and the sea. By 21, he was the Shipping Editor of the Cape Times, chronicling the final days of sail and the rise of modern maritime trade. Rich with personal anecdotes, shipwrecks, wartime reconnaissance flights, and waterfront intrigue, this book offers a rare glimpse into South Africas maritime history through the eyes of a self-made enthusiast. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs taken by the author himself.
