This book is a memoir about 54 days spent on a container ship traveling from Long Beach, California to New Zealand and Australia. It describes daily life on the ship and gives insights into the life of a seaman. The reader will learn about lifeboat drills, pirates, and the dangers for crews from underdeveloped countries who are forced to sail on flags of convenience ships. Color photographs capture ship scenes and local sights in the ports of Taranga, New Zealand and Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. The book is dedicated to those crew members who spend their lives at sea so that consumers can enjoy goods from all over the world. Although some of the original information may have changed since the voyage, the loneliness, monotony and dangers experienced by the crew do not change with time.
