<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When, as a young man in the 1880s, Benjamin Lundy signed up for duty aboard a square-rigged commercial sailing vessel, he began a journey more exciting, and more terrifying, than he could have ever imagined: a treacherous, white-knuckle passage around that notorious "graveyard of ships," Cape Horn.</p><p>A century later, Derek Lundy, author of the bestselling <em>Godforsaken Sea</em> and an accomplished amateur seaman himself, set out to recount his forebear's journey. <em>The Way of a Ship</em> is a mesmerizing account of life on board a square-rigger, a remarkable reconstruction of a harrowing voyage through the most dangerous waters.
