The Log Of The Empire State

By Geneve L.A. Shaffer

Book Overview

The Log of the Empire State is a book written by Geneve L.A. Shaffer. The book is a memoir that chronicles the author's experience as a crew member aboard the Empire State, a training ship of the State University of New York Maritime College. The Empire State is a 565-foot vessel that serves as a training ground for cadets and midshipmen, preparing them for careers in the maritime industry.Throughout the book, Shaffer details her daily life aboard the ship, including the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry. She also shares her experiences working alongside her fellow crew members, from the camaraderie and teamwork to the conflicts and tensions that arose during their time at sea.The book offers a unique glimpse into the world of maritime training and the experiences of those who work aboard these massive vessels. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in the maritime industry or looking for an engaging memoir of life at sea.When we talked to some of the American residents in Japan, they all got on the old familiar subject, the high cost of living, but they seem to agree that it cost just twice as much to live in Japan as any other place in the world. It seems that without considering the high rent, an amah (a sort of maid who will do only certain duties), a house boy (who is anywhere from twelve to sixty years old), and a cook (who gets a commission on everything you buy) must be kept, even in the simplest of homes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
