Many adolescent boys dream of running away to sea, but Peter Taylor is one of the few who actually did it. With some fast-talking and ficticious references, sixteen-year-old Peter found a position crewing on a British tramp steamer from sleepy Wellington, New Zealand to post-war England, via Australia and aparthied South Africa. So began a series of journeys throughout Africa, Nth and Sth America, the Caribbean and Europe.
