Rebel Voyage (A Young Man, an Old Schooner, and an Audacious Journey Across the Atlantic)

It’s September 1968, and Nat Benjamin, a 21-year-old aspiring sailor, has just been offered the challenge of a lifetime: to captain a schooner on a transatlantic delivery from the eastern Mediterranean to Newport, Rhode Island. Soon Nat learns that he has undertaken more than he bargained for and that the poorly equipped, leaky old boat, Tappan Zee, is unfit to go to sea.

Determined nonetheless, Nat undertakes the 4,500-mile quest.

 

The book includes:

• An account of Nat’s harrowing journey—including encounters with European aristocracy, drug smugglers, and con artists, as well as romance and heartbreak.

• A collection of stunning ship’s drawings depicting the Tappan Zee, plus 26 beautiful illustrations.

• A detailed glossary of nautical terms to help readers on their way.

Set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, this timeless coming-of-age story is an ode to ingenuity, adventure, and the call of the sea.
