You'll See Wonders: A memoir of the sea

This is the sequel to 'The Best of Days' and continues my memoir of my time at sea as a radio officer in the 50s and 60s, the great days of the British Merchant Navy. The title comes from advice given when I went to sea: brother-in-law, an engineer with Elder Dempster, cautioned me to never be cynical - 'You'll see wonders', he said. It has been a pleasurable two years in the writing, and I've enjoyed composing with the spirit and atmosphere of the time. It is not autobiography, but memoir - which allows for scenes and character to be built where memory gives only snatches and fragments of conversation and visual recall. The ships concerned in this volume are Brocklebankers of 1957 - 1959.
