The misadventures of this wartime attempt, 1740-1744, by Royal Navy ships to sail around the world make a dramatic story of hardship, disaster, mutiny and heroism. A story of a commander who watched helplessly while his crews died in their hundreds, who hauled ropes alongside his men and tended them when they were ill; but who never wavered in his determination to return home triumphant. Navy blue boards, gilt title to spine. Chart of the Track of the Centurion to endpapers. B/w illustrations. xxi and 264 pages including index.
Pictorial dustwrapper spine faded.
