Walter Cronkite "A Ship's Tale"by N. Jay Young is an extraordinary
tale from World War II of an extraordinary sailing vessel written
by a courageous and extraordinary author. James P. Delgado, Host of
National Geographic Television s "The Sea Hunters" and Executive
Director, Vancouver Maritime Museum "A Ship s Tale"by N. Jay Young
is compelling, true to life, and hitting straight in the heart. I
can empathize with those men who love that ship for I too have
loved and lost a ship. I encourage anyone with a love of the sea as
well as those in a relationship with one of us ship loving types to
read this book. Clive Cussler This is a good book and would make a
good film. Set in post-war England, this is the story of the
square-rigger "Bonnie Clyde. Before this great lady meets her fate,
a group of rogue sailors, unable to persuade the Admiralty to help
save the vessel, pirates the ship away while she s under tow to be
scuttled. Through their creative use of materials and methods, they
sail her through the English Channel and the Irish Sea, hoping to
deliver the ship to where she was built in Dumbarton, Scotland on
the river Clyde. A former Royal Navy officer Lt. Flynn tells the
story. He is lured into conspiring with a Scottish sea captain
(Bowman), his British first mate (Harris) who is the inside
connection to parts from the scrap yards, an Irish navigator
(Edward), and a Russian master rigger (Boris). Together, the crew
outsmarts the British Admiralty and Scotland Yard in their attempts
to stop the ship. During their journey, the crew fights the weather
and avoids modern day detection. A sympathetic public opinion,
aided by an AP reporter and a host of unlikely co-conspirators
become their allies.
