I come from a long line of #SeaCaptains. My great grandfather was Captain Grant & this is one of the American #ClipperShips he sailed, the Saint David. It was built in 1877 in Bath, Maine & carried cargoes of lumber & coal in the Pacific trade.
Once when he was sailing from Australia with a load of coal there was a storm which almost drove the ship into the rocks, story below.

Tonight’s supper reading, Mensun Bound’s “The Ship Beneath the Ice: The Discovery of Shackleton’s Endurance”. I was lucky to get a signed copy from my local bookshop. I rarely read print now due to neuro disease, but this one’s layout and structure is me friendly.
