    Very cool video! Alas, no chanteys. I’ve been to see the Joseph Conrad in Mystic. A beautiful ship she is, too.

    Great videos and inititative. Villiers was one of the most remarkable Australian of the 20th century but little known today. On www.seabring.com.au I have attempted to identify details of his some 40+ books. I hope these videos help to get him better known. Note the cat in the first video - it was world famous in it’s day.
