I read "The Last Grain Race" by Eric Newby on holiday this summer and can highly recommend it. It is about his time crewing a four masted barque on the grain routes between Australia and Europe just before the outbreak of World War II. Very funny and very poignant description of the last days of crewing tall ships. Also, check out Newby's bio - there's one very interesting guy who's seen a bit of the world.

 

Just ordered off fleabay. Looks right up my street, thanks for the recommendation.
