About this book

Looking for a Ship by McPhee, John. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780374190774.

This is an extraordinary tale of life on the high seas aboard one of the last American merchant ships, the S.S.

As the crew of the Stella Lykes makes their ocean voyage, they tell stories of other runs and other ships, tales of disaster, stupidity, greed, generosity, and courage.
