Rough Passage Book

In 1934, Commander Graham set off single-handed from Falmouth in EMANUEL, a tiny seven-ton cutter, on a voyage to Labrador. Once there, he spent several weeks cruising among the remote settlements of Newfoundland and Labrador. On the passage home via Bermuda, heavy gales tested man and boat nearly to the limit: "The sea looked so terrifying that I could not bear to look at it, and I remained below all day." The disabled boat managed to make it to Bermuda, where Commander Graham spent the winter. He then sailed home in the spring by way of the Azores. This new edition contains previously unpublished information about the eight-year restoration of EMANUEL, faithfully restoring her to her original state. It also includes his daughter's account of their trip to the Faeroe Islands in 1929 described as the most out-of-the-way archipelago in the world and an afterword by Captain Ian Tew, Commander Graham's grandson who followed in his wake.Read More
