by D. Harold Hickey
Hickey shipped out in a coasting schooner just before the Great War to learn to be a "sailorman". He didn't achieve his goal on the Miles Merry but he persisted and eventually shipped out on a variety of vessels including square riggers; sailing in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on fore-and-afters and on square riggers. His portraits of his shipmates are colourful and memorable and his experiences were manifold. A classic sea-yarn.
