A fascinating account of sea-going experiences over many years aboard ships plying among the Pacific Islands. After Merchant Navy service in WWII Vic Ward signed off as second mate from his ship in London, determined not to go the sea again. Suitable work in post-war Britain was not easy to find so it was not long before he, wife and family were heading for the Pacific , where he was to be chief office on the mission schooner, John Williams V. This ship was wrecked in 1948 and he later became mate, then master of her replacement, the motor-ship JW VI. Mid-1952 Vic and family returned to England, but was soon asked to become master of a Trade Scheme ship based in Tawara. This was the beginning of a long and varied life afloat, which is well recounted by the author. Captain Ward retired in 1977. The author lived in Tarawa for seven years and often sailed as a passenger on his ships. 125 pages, 17 b/w photos, three maps. Card covers with pictorial front VG with small crease across top corner, signed by author opposite title page, top corner cresed first few pages, textblock otherwise excellent. A scarce title.
