“When anyone asks how I can best describe my experience of nearly 40 years at sea, I merely say: uneventful. I never saw a wreck, and have never been wrecked, nor was I in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort. You see, I’m not very good material for a story”.
Captain E.J. Smith
