About this title

Review:

Woodman knows his ships and the sea and is a craftsman of great ability (GUERNSEY EVENING PRESS)

Brilliantly told...the characters are real and lively, the language similar; but above all it is a convincing and compulsive seafaring story (OXFORD TIMES)

Equally as good as the rest. (TEESIDE EVENING GAZETTE)
