Bullied and assaulted, despised by officers and crew alike. Unable to work without abuse and criticism. Caught up in the vicious maelstrom of the British Class system and all because he came from 'posh' school. And with seasickness his constant companion. This is the true story of how after joining a British Tramp Ship in 1961 in the North of England, Peter travels the world from South America to the Far East and China, the USA to India and Ceylon. With a crew of characters that might well have come from the pen of fiction, he rides the swells of self-doubt as his innocence is shredded and he gradually becomes a useful member of the crew and a man of the world, even as fate intervenes to get him safely home.
