The Last Voyage of the Schooner Rosamond – Haakon Chevalier
Short Description
A first edition published by Andre Deutsch, London in 1970. Octavo, 248 pages including "Glossary of Nautical Terms" Illustrations limited to the endpaper maps and the schematic of the vessel. Reflects the lengthy delay to the publication of the account.
It is 1920 and Haakon Chevalier and Donald Snedden decide to skip University to experience the last voyage of the four-masted schooner Rosamond. And what an experience. Just check out the chart of the voyage and imagine the sailing conditions in more than one or two spots. Great narrative.
Hard to beat a four-master on its final mammoth voyage.
