I read "The Grain Race" 50 years ago.
Found this stunning film. Thank you youtube.

Thanks, Gary.
I recently read "We the Drowned" (suggested by a forum member) which addresses life in those times although presents a darker picture.. Outstanding book..

How does the old saying go........? Iron men and wooden ships! Watching the video reminds me I have done very little sailing.
