Hi:

This title is non-fiction that reads like fiction, but focuses on the
Merchant Marine.

_Looking for a Ship_ by John McPhee

The author tagged along with 2nd mate Andy Chase on the SS Stella Lykes on
a 42 day run through the Panama Canal and down the Pacific coast of South
America. There are pirates, hidden drugs, stowaways, sea lore...very
entertaining look at life in the merchant marine.

--Christine Perkins
