About This Book

The author recalls a varied life at sea and on the lecture platform, weaving personal anecdotes about childhood, seafaring adventures, writing, and public speaking. He describes early memories, the development of his lecturing career and tours, encounters with audiences, chairmen, and lanternists, and experiences of hospitality, hotels, and overseas travel, including Australasia. Interspersed are reflections on craft and aptitude, random memories, and essays on journeys and hospitality, culminating in a summing-up that blends practical detail with reflective diversion. The tone combines anecdote, observation, and practical insight into maritime life, the lecture circuit, and the habits of travel and public performance.
