Description:

The War With Cape Horn brings the Cape Horn story into the middle of the twentieth century. For a hundred years sailing ships had been making the serious voyage, with profit to the owners but at great cost in vessels and in men. The big steel barks carried thousands of tons and their sail-spread was enormous; their crews, however, were small and very young. Americans, British, German, French, Scandinavian ships--they risked the Horn each year by the hundreds, and Allan Villiers vividly records their achievements and disasters. He has gone to sources heretofore unused--at Lloyd's and at the British National Maritime Museum. But his most valuable source has been the ship-masters whom he has known; and he writes, of course, out of his own long experience in deep-water sail, from able seaman to captain.
