Synopsis
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.
