BACK TO SEA: British (Merchant Navy Series)

By Ian M. Malcolm

Having spent a year at Leith Nautical College to obtain a 1st Class PMG Certificate in Radiotelegraphy, the author returns to sea as a 1st radio officer/purser with Alfred Holt & Co., owners of the Blue Funnel Line and the Glen Line. His appointment to the old Machaon is brief and, on 12 May, 1948, he joins the even older Atreus in Birkenhead. This is his first voyage to the Far East. The homeward passage, carrying pilgrims to Jeddah, is of great interest and included are now vintage, photographs of them joining and leaving the ship. Review by M. Bunn on Amazon US "Takes me back to glory days of the merchant navy before containerization ruined the sailors life. It's a very pleasant and nostalgic read." The author's post war Merchant Navy Series includes: Outward Bound Back To Sea Via Suez Last Voyage and Beyond All four books include historical photographs.
