"In the two previous books of his trilogy, Seamen's missions (1986) and The way of the sea (2008), the author researched how the seafarers' mission movement began and expanded. This third volume traces the captivating human drama surrounding the origins. It presents, for the first time ever, the embattled life of George Charles Smith---today recognized worldwide as the founder of the Maritime Mission Movement."--From back cover
