【图书简介】 Book DescriptionA teetotaler at sea， with a crew three sheets to the wind. New Afterword by Thomas Meagher. From Publishers WeeklyWrites Katherine A. Powers， of The Boston Globe ， "I read Seaspray and Whisky in one enthralled sitting. It is a memoir of a young Irish Radio Officer who has the exotic misfortune to sign up for a tour of duty on a ship commanded and crewed by a collection of topers. The ship's most notable presence is a cargo of Scotch whisky. The author， who is a teetotaler and a bit of a priss， observes with awed restraint as the voyage from Liverpool to New Orleans and on to Houston disintegrates into a binge， the consequence of 960 bottles of Vat 69 disappearing during transit. Freeman's powers of description are stunning： the voyage comes alive with its curious assemblage of seamen， all exceptionally human in their cunning and folly， in their aspirations and failures."-读书网|DuShu.com
