Elena and the Ships

by Paolo Benassi

Overview

"Elena and The Ships" is a story dedicated to all people working on ships, as well as to those involved in the travel and maritime business.
Elena, the main character, is a woman employed by a shipping management company, dealing with the challenges to work in a traditionally male business, both in the office and when visiting the ships managed by her company.
She stands with the crew that she hires and supports them if they are abused by upper shipboard management, struggling against the culture and certain wrong practices in the maritime business.
Elena is also involved in unusual experiences such as murder on a ship and salvage on a glacier, within glimpses of ship's life and spectacular ramifications in foreign countries.
