Beschreibung
Immediate experiences of a distant voyage captain. In the form of letters and memories, the author recounts his career from studying at the naval school in Varna to commanding several ships of the Czechoslovak National Shipping Company. The publication presents a completely unique testimony of the time and conditions under which Czechoslovak sailors sailed in the second half of the last century. It sheds light on the operations of the then commercial fleet and provides insight into the behind-the-scenes of not just seafaring life. The book includes examples of the vessels on which the author cruised the seas and oceans, and an appendix captures the fates of the last ships of the Czechoslovak National Shipping Company after their unfortunate sale by the privatization pirate Kožený.
