The Voyage of Detroit

by Thomas Fleming Day

Book Overview

The trip was an adventure: the vessel's freeboard was only 2 1/2 feet so she was usually awash and always rolling; the engine noise was deafening; and the boat caught fire and nearly blew up. After completing the rugged North Sea leg, Day writes, "The last thing I did was to visit the engine room and kiss the motor good-bye." Few would want to replicate his voyage.
