Clean, tight, unmarked; age tanning to pages; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The heroic story of Foundation Franklin - gallant North Atlantic tug whose crew saved thousands from the jaws of the angry sea. In this book, Mowat tells the story of a small, ocean-going salvage tug and the rescue work she did over a period of fifteen years to save ships buffeted by wind, storm and sea. The story of the indomitable Franklin is also the story of her colourful men. Mostly Newfoundlanders, they were born to the sea and no one could beat them at their perilous trade. Farley Mowat describes the epic struggle of the Franklin and her crew with a life-and-death intensity reminiscent of Joseph Conrad. and his account of the rigours of the war years, when the Franklin went out unprotected into waters patrolled by the deadly U-boats to rescue crippled ships, makes adventure reading that is truly unforgettable.
