Description
The story of the race between the Herzogin Cecilie and the Beatrice in 1927/28 both loaded with wheat, from Port Lincoln in South Australia to Falmouth, where they were to receive orders for their destination. The author sailed aboard Herzogin Cecilie.
First Sentence
If a passenger steamer had been in the vicinity of Cape Otway, off the southern coast of Australia, on the morning of Saturday, December 17th, 1927, her passengers would have seen the sight of their lives: two great four-masted barques, relics of an age that has passed forever, racing under all sail to a stiff southerly breeze.
