In 1938, Commander R. D. Graham and his daughter Marguerite set out from England to sail around the world aboard CAPLIN. Sixty years later, Commander Graham's grandson, Captain Ian Tew, bought INDEPENDENT FREEDOM in New York and, with his aunt Marguerite's stories as a guide, sailed in CAPLIN's wake. Their parallel accounts provide a fascinating historical perspective and reveal the timelessness of life at sea.
