Ebook About An engaging and informative first-hand account of the last ‘grain race’ of maritime history, from respected travel writer Eric Newby.In 1939, a young Eric Newby – later renowned as a travel writer of exceptional talent – set sail aboard Moshulu, the largest sailing ship still employed in the transportation of grain from Australia to Europe. Every year from 1921 to 1939, the vessels involved in the grain trade would strive to find the shortest, fastest passage home – ‘the grain race’ – in the face of turbulent seas, atrocious weather conditions and hard graft.First published in 1956, ‘The Last Grain Race’, featuring many photographs from the author’s personal collection, celebrates both the spirit of adventure and the thrill of sailing on the high seas. Newby’s first-hand account – engaging and informative, with frequent bursts of humour and witty observations from both above and below deck – chronicles this classic sailing voyage of the Twenties and Thirties, and records the last grain race of maritime history.Book The Last Grain Race Review :
I was fascinated. It is a book of a different age. The end of sailing ships and the economy that they supported. It was the story of the author, Newby, who spent a year aboard the wind jammer Moshulu. The work he did on the boat was absolutely grueling and dangerous . In the modern day it would be against all labor laws and for fear of life and limb for virtually no pay.This book is not for everybody. It names the parts of a sailing ship with little or no description. Fortunately there is Wikipedia to help. Then Newby quotes the Finnish mates in Finnish without translation just so you know how he had to learn enough Finnish one the fly.I actually was enthralled by the book. I gave it four stars because not every fearless reader would enjoy the slog. The Last Grain Race is not sailing in the sun and spray but rather a vivid tale of life before the mast. It is remarkable that a young English lad of 18 signed on as a raw hand on a steel four masted bark in 1938 and wrote about his life sailing to Australia around the Cape of Good Hope and home via Cape Horn. The work is punishing, terrifying, exhausting, with not enough sleep or food and shipmates who were mostly young but non-English speakers. It is a modern companion to Dana’s Two Year’s Before The Mast and remarkable that so little had changed in 100 years.
