About the book

Eric Newby's The Last Grain Race recounts his youthful voyage aboard the Finnish sailing ship Moshulu in the late 1930s. Newby joined the vessel with little sailing experience and endured an arduous journey from Europe to Australia and back around Cape Horn. His memoir combines humour, adventure and firsthand detail about life aboard one of the last great commercial sailing ships.
