B&W VERSION with over 300 photos. The exciting travels during the 35-year career of a Ship's Marine Surveyor, traveling nearly 60 countries to investigate maritime casualties, inspecting cruise ships, tankers and other vessels, in exotic locations, such as Yap, Kwajalein, Dubai, Singapore, Peru, Samoa, Trinidad, and other places too numerous to mention here. Over 300 photos help describe these events, plus technical illustration drawings. His descriptions are not just travelogues, but insights into the cultures of the people, personal relationships, and criticisms when warranted. Advice for travelers is offered, and how to avoid the "Ugly American" image when traveling abroad. Bob is a graduate Naval Architect (ship designer) who decided sitting behind a desk, designing ships, did not satisfy him. He took a Field Surveyor's job to train with a large worldwide ship inspection company, and later decided to start his own business, A3Pi Services, traveling the world. His writing style is practical and down to earth, giving good definitions of the technical aspects of the stories, when that is needed. The book will be interesting for both Maritime professionals as well as those with no maritime background.
