Description

In 1972, the UK was experiencing a period of social change, with the Prime Minister declaring a three-day working week and the Coalminer's Strike beginning to bite. Amidst this backdrop, a young man named John Caswell was navigating his final year at school. As he approached adulthood, John found himself working in an office and struggling to find his place in the world. However, a chance encounter with his sister's boyfriend, who was in the Merchant Navy, would change everything. Convinced that this was the life for him, John enrolled in the National Sea Training School in Gravesend, embarking on a three-month course to become a Lifeboat and Efficient Deck Hand. His journey took him across the oceans, from Rotterdam to Montreal, New York, New Orleans, Rio De Janeiro, Durban, and back to Rotterdam, with hilarious and embarrassing consequences. This is a story of transformation, as John comes to terms with his ever-changing environments and the social demands of a work-hard, play-hard regime.
