Description

Charles Violet’s account chronicles his ambitious voyage through the inland waterways of France and across the Mediterranean in the small yawl Nova Espero. Departing from London, the narrative follows his navigation of complex canal systems and open seas, detailing the technical demands of handling a diminutive craft alone. This first edition thus, volume forty-five in the Mariners Library, records his encounters with local port officials, coastal landscapes, and the logistical realities of mid-century maritime travel.
