Description

The lightship Gull holds station over the Goodwin Sands while John Welton, young Jim, and master Morley Jones keep the floating light alive through storm, wreck, and coastal wrongdoing. Crew, craft, and duty on a hard bit of water. Maritime adventure grounded in the ship’s work, not a lone castaway fantasy.
