The author describes his grandfather's experience of crossing the Atlantic under sail in the 1890s. Unique insight into the hardships of 19th century seafaring. "...his knowledge of the most arcane seafaring terms and traditions, coupled with careful research, makes this a tremendously elucidating, frequently thrilling read" "Sunday Telegraph".
Benjamin Lundy crossed oceans under sail in the late nineteenth century and over one hundred years later Derek Lundy his great-great nephew has re-created that journey. In The Way of a Ship he places Benjamin on board the Beara Head with a community of fellow seamen as they perform the exhausting and dangerous work of sailing a square-rigger across the Atlantic and round Cape Horn. Derek Lundy adorns his story of an extraordinary journey with a profound knowledge of the sea and sailing and reminds us that the ocean voyage under sail is an overarching metaphor for life itself.
