Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Derek Lundy is a magnificent storyteller and in this book he takes us on an extraordinary journey. His ancestor Benjamin Lundy crossed oceans under sail in the late nineteenth century and over one hundred years later his great-great nephew has re-created that journey. In The Way of a Ship he places… Benjamin on board the Beara Head with a community of fellow seamen as they perform the exhausting and dangerous work of sailing a square-rigger across the Atlantic and round Cape Horn. These "beautiful, widow-making, deep-sea" ships represented near technological perfection. They could move fast in almost all weather and carry huge cargos. But they demanded much of the men who sailed in them. Life at sea, was a brutal and unforgiving business. Fed on a diet of pea soup, gristly salt horse, rock hard weevil-invested biscuits and just enough lemon to keep scurvy at bay, the seamen were dangerously malnourished and sleep-deprived. But their instinct was to give their all through the battering, screaming winds. The equation was simple: they would survive if the ship survived and so they fought to save the ship. As Benjamin Lundy nears the Horn and its attendant terrors, the traditional qualities of the sailor - fatalism, stoicism, courage and unquestioning obedience to a strict authority - are revealed with all their necessary and unrelenting force. This is a powerful and enlightening tale and like Melville and Conrad before him Derek Lundy adorns his story with a profound knowledge of the sea and sailing and reminds us that the ocean voyage under sail is an overarching metaphor for life itself. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Cloth. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. First Edition Hardback TThe Way of a Ship Square-Rigger Voyage in the Last Days of Sail clipped 447pp When as a young man in the 1880s, Benjamin Lundy signed up for unimaginably hard duty aboard a square-rigged commercial sailing vessel - one desti…ned for a treacherous, white-knuckle passage around that notorious "graveyard of ships," Cape Horn - he had no idea that his experience would also provide a window into an epochal transition that would fundamentally change man's relation to the sea. A century later, Derek Lundy, an accomplished amateur seaman, set out to recount his forebear's journey. This is a mesmerizing account of Benjamin's life on board the square-rigger Beara Head, a remarkable reconstruction of a harrowing journey through the most dangerous waters, furling sails 150 feet aloft in heavy weather; enduring cold and danger; sleep-deprived and malnourished, at times half-starved; fighting each day to save the ship and his crewmates. In the process, Benjamin "learns the eternal lessons the sea, which is to say that he finds out the sort of man he is." 352 pages.We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
