The Indestructible SquareRigger Falls Of Clyde 324 Voyages Under Sail
Author: Bob Krauss

The Falls of Clyde at the Hawaii Maritime Center is an integral part of Hawai'i maritime history. The 125-year-old vessel is the only surviving full-rigged, four-masted ship in the world; the only surviving sail-driven oil tanker; and the only surviving original member of the Matson fleet. Through the eyes of the sailors and passengers, ... more »;The Indestructible Square-Rigger Falls of Clyde: 324 Voyages Under Sail takes us along on the ship's voyages as she circles the globe and calls at every continent in the world.

Bob Krauss is an "old Pacific hand," the dean of journalists in Hawai'i, and the author of 15 books about the Islands. Through his column in The Honolulu Advertiser, he spearheaded the drive that saved the Falls of Clyde in 1963. He was a founder of the Hawaii Maritime Center, of which Falls of Clyde is a museum ship, in 1982.

During World War II., Krauss spent 18 months on sea duty with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific. He has written stories from more than 60 islands and atolls. In 1985 he sailed on board the double-hulled Hawaiian voyaging canoe, Hiikiile'a, and has reported her voyages among the islands of Polynesia for 20 years.

When he writes about the Falls of Clyde, it is from 40 years of association and friendship with her former first mate and historian, the late Captain Fred Klegingat.
