Summary
In 1775, just prior to the start of the American Revolution, the British schooner Halifax was wrecked off the Maine coast. The pilot of the vessel was a Colonial seaman who'd been impressed into the Royal Navy. Drawing on true events and real people, noted maritime author and historian Roger Duncan traces the fictional life of Halifax's pilot in this historical novel.
