Description
Skinned Out My Time at Sea and Jumping Ship in New Zealand
This memoir follows Philip Saul's journey from joining the Blue Funnel Line as a 16-year-old catering boy to his adventures sailing around the world. From the Far East to the Irish Sea, and finally to the Antipodes, Saul recounts his experiences with refreshing bluntness, humour and honesty.
Skinned Out offers an authentic 'warts 'n all' account of a bygone era in British merchant shipping, one that was marked by change and upheaval. With its lower-deck perspective, this memoir provides a unique insight into the lives of those who worked on the ships during this period.
