About this title

Synopsis

In 1913, sixteen-year-old Johnny Boult joins the wool-clipper "Emilia Denholm" in Melbourne as it sails for London and finds the stark reality of shipboard life different from his glamorous dreams of seafaring

From Library Journal

In 1913 John Boult, a 16-year-old apprentice seaman, joins his first ship, an iron-hulled sailing vessel hauling wool from Melbourne to Liverpool. The ship is captained by a madman dying of cancer, the first mate is a felon, the head apprentice a weak, wormy boy whom the captain delights in tormenting. During the four-month voyage John sees more of the contained shipboard life than he wanted, and grows up quickly. A well enough written coming-of-age novel, remarkable chiefly for the seagoing milieu and scenes of ocean storms.Edwin B. Burgess, U.S. Army TRALINET Ctr., Fort Monroe, Va.

Shipping Terms

Heavy books sent internationally at no extra cost:

Postage prices for worldwide shipping are as shown, mostly the extra postage for heavy books or sets is built into the price, so we will not ask for extra payment unless our actual shipping cost proves to be exceptionally high for a specific location.

Everything sent by Airmail:

All INTERNATIONAL orders are sent by Royal Mail Priority Airmail. If you select the faster shipping option it just means we know you're in a hurry and we will do our best to speed things up. We normally batch our international shipments once per week to give you the cheapest possible access to airmail. Generally airmail takes 5-7 business days, longer for some countries, and this is once we have entered your package into the system, so overall up to 10-15 business days, possibly longer for some destinations.
