Description
TRAMP: SAGAS OF HIGH ADVENTURE IN THE VANISHING WORLD OF THE OLD TRAMP FREIGHTERS 1986 Book by Michael J. Krieger Up for bid is the following: 1 – hard-cover: TRAMP: SAGAS OF HIGH ADVENTURE IN THE VANISHING WORLD OF THE OLD TRAMP FREIGHTERS; 1986 Book by Michael J. Krieger . The advent of modern cargo ships and supertankers has forced the last few hardy old tramp freighters into the odd and often exotic corners of the maritime world. Author Michael J. Krieger and photographer Judy Howard have rigorously pursued the remnants of this once ubiquitous fleet to their far-flung last refuges. They document the romantic histories of these colorful anachronisms and their equally colorful crews in TRAMP, SAGAS OF HIGH ADVENTURE IN THE VANISH WORLD OF THE OLD TRAMP FREIGHTERS. You’ll sail aboard a copra ship in the languid South Seas, navigate the fog shrouded fjords of the Scandinavian coast. Thread your way among sampans at the mouths of Chinese rivers, and negotiate cargo contracts with mysterious merchants in little-known ports of the eastern Mediterranean. This beautifully illustrated volume evokes the salty spirit of Melville and Conrad, and presents a fascinating insight into a vanishing era of maritime history, TRAMP will prove to be exciting reading for armchair adventurers and all those who love the sea.
