Synopsis

When you board a ship you enter the exciting world of ship board life, whether it be on a tramp steamer, cargo boat or ocean liner. The mystique and magic of far-flung ports appeal to all world travelers. This book is a combination of reports about legendary people who have taken ships to reach their destinations, and reports about the legendary people who were the reason to sail to these destinations. A ship can take you to Le Havre, and from there a car to George Sand's house or Genoa to visit Lake Lago and Puccini's house, the voyages being just the beginning.
