This classic sea adventure, first published in 1932, is now back in print in hardcover and softcover editions from Sea History Press, with new photos and with an Introduction by Exy Johnson. Captain Irving Johnson, in later decades renowned for his writing and voyaging aboard a succession of yachts called Yankee, went aboard the German windjammer Peking as a young sailor and adventurer in 1929, helped sail her around Cape Horn to Chile, and recorded the experience with still camera, movie camera, and the journal that became this book. It was a stormy passage, and Irving Johnson brings it to our armchairs in this great little book.
