Moonraker Mutiny,
This review is from: The Moonraker Mutiny (Hardcover)
Read this book in Paperback in 1977 while working night watch as a Radio Telegraph Operator in the Coast Guard. I really enjoyed reading about what it might be like to ship on a Foreign "Flag of Convience" ship. The Ship Moonraker was doomed when it Sailed from Fremantle, Aus. for Mauritus Island with general Cargo. The Skipper an alcoholic and had fallen from grace in the British Maritime due to abandoning a ship that was still seaworthy in the past. After losing the Main Engine and Generator in a Cyclone and most of the Crew leaves the ship in a life boat, the Capt. is left with his daughter, the stewart, and a passage worker and hopes to redeem himself with the British Maritime buy trying to rig up sails on the cargo mast and sail the ship to port. When I signed on a Singapore Flag Freighter 2 years later, I found that some of these foreign flag ships could be in pretty shabby condition, but I got the radio room organized and it was in good shape before I left the ship.
