About the Author

Farley Mowat spent two years gathering this material and sailed on some of the missions he describes. The result is a modern epic-a vigorous, dramatic picture of the eternal battle between men and the cruel sea.

Editorial Reviews

"Here is a good book, and it merits the attention of those who love and respect the sea."—The New York Times

From the Publisher

Mowat, author of and nearly 40 other books, writes passionately of the courage of the men of the small oceangoing tug . From 1930 until 1948, the tug's job was to rescue sinking ships in the North Atlantic. Mowat's account paints a dramatic picture of the battle between men and the cruel sea. Annotation c.
