The finest historical books personalize the stories with action and feeling from the people in the narratives.  My book takes the reader under dangerous waters along with these brazen men who dared the ocean.

What do I talk about? My own adventures of finding these men, their families, and the stories they keep locked away in a secret chest of drawers, dusty crates and treasures held close to their hearts. By discussing the dreams of these men with my audience, I open doors of possibilities, ideas and the future goals of my listeners. I share funny and tragic stories not found in my book and I also leave the audience wondering about the strength of any human being against nature.
