The beginning of the story opens a window into the lives of Scots living and working in Edinburgh in the 1600s. It then follows them and others to all points of the compass down three centuries with the most common thread being - Seafaring. It explores little-known impediments like Privateering and Impressment, it chronicles the hazards of Arctic Whaling, timelines the growth of the Scottish Mercantile Trade and benchmarks the strength of the camaraderie that is - life in the Merchant Navy. It explores the vagaries of maritime traditions and superstitions in order to gives a valid picture of the authentic lives of these Youngs and their seafaring community.

Real Events - Real People.

Simmonds-Peters, Fay N.: - Fay N. Simmonds-Peters spent her early years on dairy farms in rural Australia. Her life was punctuated with adventure, curiosity and hard work. Whilst it was far from idyllic, that solitude was the genesis for developing an insatiable curiosity about the world and people. After leaving a business career behind she embraced her new-found freedom which became the precursor for renewing a long-held interest in World History and Genealogy. With these two subjects as her guides, she then pursued her passion for discovering the fragments which make up the fabric of those peoples' lives which are the subject of this book.
