Cruise Of The Dream Ship

Well illustrated memoir of a round the world voyage by an English yacht, the final third devoted to experiences around the Great Barrier Reef, Thursday Island and the Torres Strait, and in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

The Cruise of the Dream Ship is a delightful and remarkable story of three young people sailing to the South Seas in the 1920s written by Ralph Stock. It presents a vividly described memoir of one round the world voyage by an English yacht. It consists of the crew's experiences and adventures around the Great Barrier Reef, Thursday Island and the Torres Strait, and the Gulf of Carpentaria. It focuses on the stops the young men made along the way and talks about the natives of these South Seas isles, who remain barely touched by civilization. Stock has, with great detail, penned down all the exciting things about this voyage. He talks about the personal and general preparations for the journey, their arrival at British West Indies, their journey from the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and the strange happenings that took place. There are many more exciting accounts of this bizarre voyage that Stock writes about so incredibly in this work.
