I loved this book

The story of a decrepid windjammer at the end of the era of sail. The Nautical detail is as good as Patrick O'Brian. The characters are straight out of Film Noir--the showman and his lady down on their luck, the Minister who secretly questions his faith, the ambitious and unscrupulous 1st Mate, the hard-as-nails Captain hanging on to a failed career and failing ship, and the beautiful widow who obvioulsly has something to hide.

rediscovered treasure

I first read this sea story of a mans love for a dying sailing ship and way of life when working on Okinawa in the 60's. Years passed and I foregot the title and author but always wish I knew because I wanted to read it again .Brousing in a used book store one day I found it and was thrilled.The ending is the best of any story I have ever read. I re read it every couple of years and give paper backs to friends to read.
