This is one of those books (at least for me) that you can’t put down until your eyes go googly from reading as long as you possibly can. The story and characters seem to stick with you for days – I found myself wondering what was going on aboard ship. Maybe too much escapism, but hey, that’s what good books are about. Just a great nautical story. Written by N. J. Young www.ashipstale.com
From the website:
This is the story of the square rigger Bonnie Clyde. She was a grand vessel in her time, but now the sea-weary sailing ship awaits scuttling in the cold waters of the English Channel.
Before this grand lady meets her fate, these sailors, (unable to persuade the Admiralty to help save this vessel), pirate her away while 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 her original home where she was built in Dumbarton, Scotland on the River Clyde.
