Barons of the Sea by Seven Ujifusa

The fastest ships in the world are the focus of this book. While the graceful curves and thrilling speeds of clipper ships are enough to get any sailor’s heart racing, Barons of the Sea goes further. It is a story of people from Hong Kong to New York, Cape Horn to San Francisco, all with their own triumphs and tragedies. Read this remarkable book to learn the story of the expert navigator on Flying Cloud’s record-setting trip around Cape Horn, or the Captain’s wife Eleanor Creesy and others.
