The true story of a boy who went to sea and came back a man. The author, Russ Hofvendahl, was just 15 years old when he talked his way aboard an old-fashioned four-masted schooner, in an effort not only to satisfy a desire to go to sea, but more importantly, to escape the Great Depression and the way it had affected the San Francisco waterfront. The WILLIAM H. SMITH was still in sight of the Golden Gate, when the stark reality of his impetious decision hit him; there would be no exotic destination for him just the remote, icy Bering Sea, and the cod-fishing grounds. It is a story you will not easily put down.
