Description

The Last Time Around Cape Horn: The Historic 1949 Voyage of the Windjammer Pamir In 1949, a remarkable voyage took place, one that would test the skills and resolve of its crew. The Pamir, a four-masted vessel, set out on a journey from Australia to England, braving the world's most turbulent seas. Over 128 days, the crew of thirty-four sailors faced incredible challenges, from battling huge swells to manhandling sails on masts over twenty stories high. Stark's memoir offers a unique perspective on this historic voyage, combining romance with the harsh realities of life at sea. With vivid descriptions and illuminating photos, maps, and details of maritime history, Stark brings the story to life.
