Description
Sailor Rudolf Krautschneider tells the story of the construction and part of the voyage of the sailing ship Victoria, a replica of the famous historical ship of Ferdinand Magellan, which was the first to circumnavigate the globe in the 16th century. He also describes expeditions to polar seas. The book includes stories of exceptional people, whether they are connected to the sea or not. Inside, you will find a small piece of wood that circumnavigated the world as part of the Victoria. "Maybe I haven't sailed with my sailboats all these long years, but I've flown. After all, water is just too wet air." The edition in half-cloth binding is supplemented with photographs, maps, quotes, and drawings. It loosely follows the successful titles People and the Ocean and Sailing Around the World for a Penguin Feather.
