This is the fascinating life of Captain Ray Hurst in his own words, a personal window on maritime history. Cap'n Ray tells of his nautical youth in the busy port of Norfolk, his love for boats, and his adventures as a Merchant Marine. Along the way he saw the world and fought through two wars. Seriously injured in adolescence, Ray's WWII duty included repeated convoys across the U-boat infested, lethal North Atlantic. Then after decades as a commercial mariner Ray served in Vietnam twice. He later cleared the Suez Canal after the 1973 War and was instrumental in building Hampton Roads' majestic Monitor-Merrimac Bridge- Tunnel. US media mail only for shipping.
