Turbulent Seas: My Life in the American Merchant Marine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780359980994)

Merriam Press Memoir Series. "Turbulent Seas" takes the reader back to the rousing American high sea memoirs that began 180 years ago with Richard Henry Dana's "Two Years Before the Mast." From the mid-1960s until his retirement, Merchant Marine Captain Lance Orton led an adventurous life on ships that crossed the globe's oceans and served ports in wartime Vietnam, India, the old Soviet Union, Alaska, and beyond. Co-authors Orton and Professor Barnett Singer tell of Captain Orton's career in an engaging narrative that, at times, could serve as a script for an action-ｬadventure movie. Readers will be entertained while learning fascinating details about a career in the U.S. Merchant Marine. This book will make an excellent gift to the family "history buff" and any of those who enjoy real-life adventures. -Michael Allen, Professor Emeritus, University of Washington, Tacoma. Co-author of the #1 Amazon.com and New York Times Bestseller, "A Patriot's History of the United States," 2014.
