Tramper

About the Book

TRAMPER tells the story of the Capelin, a battered old World War II supply ship that earns its keep crossing the stormy North Pacific between Seattle and the Aleutian Islands delivering cargo to the remote fishing villages of Western Alaska. Rugged trip, rugged people and a dangerous part of the world with a violent history. It’s not tourist Alaska.

About the Author
