Author Jan de Hartog, a Haarlem, Holland, native, b. 1914, ran off to sea early, and also published his 1st novel in 1940, "Holland's Glory", which was banned by the occupying Nazis, but had become symbolic of Dutch defiance. It was based on the Dutch ocean-going vessels on which de Hartog had served. He escaped to England by "the long trail", taking 6 months, being imprisoned several times, crashing with a plane, and being shot crossing the Spanish border. This volume, one of several novels he wrote, focuses on the growth of a man as Captain fighting the sea and enemies in the Murmansk.
