What was it like growing up and going to school in Hull in the 1950s and 60s? Hull, a major seaport and, at the time, the home to the largest deep sea fishing fleet in the country if not the world. It was only natural that a young fifteen-year-old would want to chance his luck. Leaving Hull Trinity House Navigation School to sign on a deep sea trawler as a galley boy, without parental permission, and then progressing to deckie learner, it soon became apparent that there were easier ways of earning a living at sea so the merchant navy called. Leaving the Arctic and the cold wild waters around Iceland, Norway, Bear Island and Spitzbergen in search of more exotic places this book describes the experiences of the author in following his career path that took in working on all kinds of ships including: tankers, short sea traders, tramps, coasters, a ferry and, finally, pilot cutters on the Humber operating from Hull, Grimsby and Spurn Point. The book also explores aspects of the life of a young sailor both at home and away, involving developing and maintaining happy and balanced home and social relationships and responsibilities. Also mentioned in the book is how the Seafarers' Education Service and the Open University, as well as some significant individuals, assisted the author into making major career changes.
