First sentence: It was a curious sensation to sit in Lemland's church and hear one's banns being read - at least that is what Sven said they were, because the old pastor's muffled Swedish was beyond me, used as I was to the ringing orders and oaths on board.
Description: The story of the last voyage of Herzogin Cecilie from the Baltic to Port Lincoln, Souh Australia for loading with wheat, to her wrecking off the coast of Devon in 1936 as told by the wife of the skipper who was on board for the trip, and who became fully involved in the recovery effort following the stranding.
Notes: Frontispiece photo of Herzogin Cecilie off Cape Horn, and 25 other photographs.
