About this book

A childhood pulpit made from an upturned chair introduces Henry Cowling's early desire to preach. His account begins among the fishing villages and harbour traffic near Plymouth, where family memories, school adventures and a love of water shape his first experiences. Cowling recalls Kingsand and Millbrook with an eye for local habits, from ferry fares to the shopping trips of naval households.

The naval chapters bring the reader aboard H.M.S. Emerald and into the routines of cruising between Bermuda, Halifax and the Newfoundland fisheries. Sausages bought at Halifax become a lasting association, while sea boots, bitter cold and passing icebergs mark the northern service. Christmas celebrations show another side of shipboard life, with decorated messes, elaborate puddings and visiting sailors. This personal account offers readers concrete details of ordinary naval life alongside the religious interests its author traces to childhood.
