Description:A tough life full of adventure awaits Tom Chatto. At the age of seventeen, he embarks upon his first voyage under sail. Queen Victoria’s empire is growing fast and the good ship Pass of Drumochter is bound for the seven seas to trade the empire’s goods. But the glamour soon falls from Tom’s eyes when he finds himself the unwitting eye witness to a foul murder. There is a stranger on board, and suddenly the harsh waters are no longer the most deadly thing threatening the lives of the ship’s men. Earning his master’s ticket is going to be as much about learning to cope with the terrifying ne’er do wells on board ship as it is about sails and navigation. The first in a series of adventures spanning the sixty year career of an officer in Queen Victoria’s merchant navy, Apprentice to the Sea describes the first steps into a life at sea.
