Hammered Ship-Shape: The young life of Clyde Lovely (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276680897)

Herbert Clyde Lovely, or Clyde, as he was known, started his apprenticeship in the Merchant Navy at 14 in 1906. He would write about his adventures in a fictionalised account of his first voyage in the 1935 book, Hammered Ship-Shape, in which he would circumnavigate the globe.

Re-published, ninety years later, with additional information about the real first voyage, this book explores what life was like as a teenage apprentice, under sail, and proudly able to call himself, a Cape Horner.
