Jacket blurb

Commander Keble Chatterton in ‘Seamen All’  covers adventure at sea from  the heyday of the sailing ships to the Great War; including  Karl Spindler’s attempt to land Roger Casement and arms from the ‘Aud’ in Ireland. No one, after finishing the book, will be disposed to deny that, sail or steam, the romance of the sea abides for all time.
