I was privileged to get hold of a first edition and how lucky I was. This is a well researched passage through maritime history through the life of Sheemaun, a traditional gentleman’s motoryacht. From her build in Scotland, through cruising the Flemish coast under the dark clouds of Workd War 2, her service in the Royal Navy as an armed motor yacht and peaceful but highly interesting adventures to the present day. One could say, ‘from compass and DR navigation to the satellites now above.’ The use of timelines at the end of the chapters brings everthying into perspective. A good book for sailors to read around a fire when weather bound and it’s blowing a hooligan outside.
