Last of the Sailormen - Softcover

'Much of this book has been written in a barge's cabin, rolling at anchor in Yarmouth Roads, stormbound under the lee of the Yantlet Flats, waiting to load at Keadby or while lying idle in London River. I have not attempted to glorify or exaggerate this account of life in a type of sailing craft which is one of the most unique and efficient in the world. It is a life in which to my mind, the pleasantness, satisfaction and occasional thrills, calling for the more sterling qualities, far outweigh the times of hardship and frustration.' Bob Roberts

This work brings to life the last days of carrying cargo under sail, written in Bob Roberts' lively and evocative style.
