Captain Douglas Harvey

He, Was There as Well! (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Join with a rather unorthodox captain of a gas tanker about to arrive in Mexico, where those not involved in cargo handling were sent ashore to buy all the things needed for his antipiracy protection. Keeping a secret of just how much money he has in his safe, he was about to get another ship free after being hijacked. Going to a port that doesnt actually exist and realizing that this was an attempt at hijacking his ship, he foils it. The voyage continues with more adventures on the way, including terrorism, finding precious stones, diverting to assist a ship in distress, and having more adventures in a port in Brazil. All the time, he has three stowaways on board and, eventually, more passengers, including the ships owner.

Autor

The author was born in 1954 and went to sea at the age of seventeen, and after a few years, he learnt how to become an expert navigator. It was only during his cadetship that he realized that a navigating officer at sea became a deck officer when the ship was in port-no fancy uniforms involved. Steadily, eventually gaining his qualification as master mariner at the age of twenty-nine, he took command of one of many gas tankers at age thirty-one. He gave up sailing at age fifty, when he wrote and had published, Four Times a Scapegoat (ISBN No 1 905226 15 2). The book exposes the corruption and pollution that he was expected to comply with but getting the blame for others, including maritime fraud. He now lives quietly with his wife in his beloved Scotland. The book Where Did You, Come From? is a combination of nonfiction and fiction.
