By Max Wood
Author Max Wood served his apprenticeship on one of the very last commercial voyages of any cargo square-rigger. Sailing Tall is a piece of living history, in which he documents in great detail work practices and a way of life now totally gone by. It is also a vivid and honest account of the "true" sailors. These memoirs constitute an invaluable document of an extinct breed, as well as a moving portrait of a boy's coming-of-age, as Wood leaves his family and learns about the world and himself.
