Bird of Dawning
A Fiction book. everyone, especially those who love the sea.
Originally written in 1933, this classic sea adventure tells of the Blackgauntlet and her homeward-bound race from China to London. Disaster strikes when the ship is struck at night by a passing steamer—only half of the crew manages to escape to the lifeboat while the others perish. Cruiser, the 22-year-old second mate who has always longed to be captain, takes command of the survivors as they plan to sail 700 miles to the island of Fayal. Cruiser and his crew battle all odds, including sharks, potential mutiny, a leaky boat, too few provisions, and the sea herself, in this taut and haunting narrative.

More About Bird of Dawning
An awesome story about a 2nd Mate aboard a clipper in a race from China to London when the ship goes down. If you love the sea then this is a must read, especially for any sailor! In a world of film I can't believe this one hasn't made it to the big screen. everyone, especially those who love the sea. One of my favorite books of all time! I re-read it every couple of years.
