That always reminds me of this. The captains were my great uncle and great-great uncle. It was my grandfather's first voyage, after which he opted for the auto plants in Detroit and Port Huron.

Started it this morning. So well written, and I'm only up to the part of the departure of "Endurance."

The FIRST sentence of the book...

(paraphrasing)

"The order to abandon ship was given at 5:15."

If that doesn't suck you in...

Gonna really enjoy this one.
