In this new book he brings us the biography of her most accomplished captain, Daniel McLaughlin. A native of Nova Scotia, as were so many of the deepwater mariners of the clipper-ship era, Daniel McLaughlin had been captain of the great Herald of the Morning for three years before taking command of Glory. Mjelde brings us the adventurous life of this master mariner and his greatest ship, focusing on the wheat trade between San Francisco and England, on record-breaking runs around Cape Horn, on the man's grave responsibilities for safely delivering ship, crew and cargo.

Seller's Description:
1997. National Maritime Museum Library. First. Hard Cover. Book-VG+. DJ-VG. 10x7. 266pp. Many b/w photos & illus, illus endpapers. The life of a clipper ship captain might seem the epitome of romance and glamour, but there was another side-long, lonely weeks and months at sea, danger from storms and rocks, grave responsibilities and the unique dangers of cold, bitter, vicious Cape Horn and its mountainous seas. This brings to life the realities of being the master of a crack clipper during the last half of the nineteenth century.
