BUCKLEY, Christopher Steaming to Bamboola. 2nd US in dj.
Congdon & Lattès, New York, 1982, ISBN:0312927924
BUCKLEY, Christopher. Steaming to Bamboola : The World of a Tramp Freighter. (NY): Congdon & Lattès, (1982). Second Printing. Pp 222. 8vo, navy spine with white boards. "On a winter's day in 1979 an old tramp freighter named the Columbianna steamed out of Charleston, South Carolina, bound for the North Sea. She carried a cargo of whiskey, machine guns, refrigerators, and other sundry goods, and a crew of 38 seamen- including the author. Christopher Buckley had first shipped out at the age of 17, as a deckboy aboard a Norwegian tramp. Now, ten years later, he was returning to sea. Steaming to Bamboola is his rich, touching, very funny portrait of the ship, her crew, and the voyage- part Conrad, part Catch-22. It chronicles a colourful way oflife that may fade as tramp freighters are rivalled by sleek, new, compute rized 'containerships'." -from the dj. Vg in slightly rubbed dj. 50.00
