AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In By the Way of Cape Horn Villiers writes of the indomitable spirit of the crew on this appalling voyage. This is not a tale of tranquil cruising on balmy tropic nights, but the exciting story of life aboard a commercial sailing ship in the last days of sail, told by a master of his craft with a deep love of his subject. Once upon a time the world was wide and ships sailed with the tide. Those times are gone, and the sailors who routinely risked their lives on the high seas have gone with them. By the Way of Cape Horn is a story to stir the blood of all those who were there and those who wish they had been.' (Gould Genealogy & History website)
