Many years back in the late 40's early 50's a guy crossed the atlantic from US to UK he wrote a book about his trip, long time ago I read it but do remember he had to stop to decoke it twice

Remembered the book was called Half Safe by Ben Carlin

Did you see the state of the one Carlin had? looks about as stable as a 3 legged cow in a sand pit. I'm surprised it floated at all given the size and composition of his ba!!$
