With large, meticulously detailed illustrations, this nostalgic picture book lovingly details a fifty-year relationship between a man and his ship. Clean panels and spare text mythologize the stalwart seafaring man and his many voyages on the Clementine through peacetime and war until her sinking. This fictional merchant marine's story--scrupulously imagined into the back matter, which includes a route map and ship diagrams--is peculiar, particular, and grand.
