"How a small-town boy from the Midwest who'd never seen an ocean until I joined the Merchant Marines got into a mess like this and how I survived it is my story to tell. The forty-year-old cockroach and rat-infested banana boat carrying bombs across the North Atlantic in wintertime, my first foreign trip, wasn't typical but it was my introduction to life on the deep."
