Year: 1957 Language: English Author: Bestic A.A. Genre: History Publisher: Evans Brothers Ltd Format: PDF/EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 179 Description: This book describes my first voyage as an apprentice in the sailing ship Denbigh Castle, a voyage perhaps unique in the annals of sail. The vessel was eight and a half months at sea without ever touching port, and actually took over a year after leaving Cardiff to reach Mollendo, her ultimate destination on the west coast of South America. We sailed from Cardiff on October 9th, 1908 and reached Fremantle the following June. After leaving Fremantle on July 5th we finally dropped anchor off Mollendo on November 21st, 1909. These pages recount the history of that voyage as seen through the eyes of an apprentice, myself.
