Sobre IBD

Afloat At Last invites you to sail back into a childhood of gulls and compass readings, where a sailor boy’s log unfolds with unflinching honesty and quiet wonder. A brisk, intimate voyage through the author’s early life at sea, this nautical memoir blends memory and meticulous observation, turning every page into a sea travel anecdote that feels both immediate and timeless.In form and themes, Hutcheson’s account is a concise, compelling sea voyage journal that captures life at sea and shipboard life routines with candour and charm. It speaks to sailor childhood memories and the rhythms of the weather, watch duties, and routines that stitched a boy to the vast, ever-changing blue. For readers, it’s not just a tale-it’s a doorway into Victorian nautical memoirs, revealing the textures of 19th century maritime life and the broader British maritime scenes that shaped a generation.Historically significant and richly atmospheric, Afloat At Last stands as a touchstone for historical sailing enthusiasts and classic maritime readers alike. It transcends mere reminiscence to become a cultural artifact of sea travel and childhood under sail. This edition is more than a reprint-it’s restored for today’s and future generations, a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.Out of print for decades, now republished by Alpha Editions. Afloat At Last is for those who crave the best of nautical memory, the finest sea travel anecdotes, and the enduring magic of the sea.
