This biography, on the author's great uncle William Laird Whitby, is based mainly on records and recollections left by the old seafarer, born 1838, died 1922. His life at sea began when he was 15, aboard a troopship, later while serving on a barque taking supplies to Crimea he was witness to the Charge of the Light Brigade and some other actions.
