Synopsis
This only novel of an author now deceased is a funny, vivid story of a group of young strangers' rite of passage, as well as a story that captures a wide medley of men's varied motivations for 'going to sea'. It is a story of Merchant Marines with an uncommon palette of characters. Set upon the stage of a Victory Ship, it sketches a portrait of a slice of post-World WarII Americana long since past.

Chapter 1: It was one of those useless late nights in Savannah. The waterfront was lined with dingy bars and the two men had been making their way through them all. The boy was just a kid of seventeen slightly built and raw as the hard scrabble Georgia life he had just left. His companion was an older man of aristocratic bearing, now crushed by hard living and harder luck.
