{"product_id":"peking-battles-cape-horn-9780930248017","title":"Peking Battles Cape Horn","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis true and gripping narrative takes you to sea aboard one of the last of the tall ships...and the great bark Peking  now preserved at the South Street Seaport Museum in New York City. Its a voyage youll never forget  from the winter North Sea gales that nearly drove the ship ashore  to the Cape Horn snorters that punished the Peking so severely that a whole section of her strong steel side was driven in. \"That taught me to learn forward forward into life \" said Irving Johnson later  and in this edition of a sea classic  he looks back on the voyage from the perspective of a long and adventurous career at sea  adding depth and new meaning to a voyage that was the experience of a lifetime. The brave men and able ships that fought their way round Cape Horn  the dread headland at the tip of South America known to generations of sailormen as \"Cape Stiff \" come vividly to life in this classic confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45921820672053,"sku":"ByrdShop_0930248015","price":63.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780930248017.jpg?v=1787604802","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/peking-battles-cape-horn-9780930248017","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
