Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York, 1991. Reprint. Softcover. Very Good Condition. McPhee joined a friend, merchant mariner Andy Chase, on a 42-day voyage from Charleston, S.C., through the Panama Canal, down the Pacific coast of South America. A gem of a book, this leisurely, unpretentious log is a paean to the United States Merchant Marine, a declining institution battered by international competition and lowered cargo rates. The ship's New England captain "couldn't find his way around a traffic circle" but manages to outmaneuver a tropical storm. Porpoises and albatrosses accompany the SS Stella Lykes on a cruise laden with much talk of stowaways, collisions and cocaine smuggling, of pirates both legendary and contemporary (the modern variety carry bolt-cutters and walkie-talkies). McPhee's ( The Control of Nature ) clean, lean prose displays his sharp eye for telling detail and arresting incident. Size: Mid Sized Paperback ( 7¾" - 9¾" tall ). 252 pages. A very clean secondhand copy, with no damage apart from age toning of the page edges. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1.
