Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - F92 C88 2015

An adventurer who traveled the world on an epic solo voyage in a 23-foot sailboat in the 1930s. With only his dog, Togo, as a companion, Captain William Crowell overcame the challenges of an unforgiving ocean. Decades later, his grandson Frank Leaman helped him tell the story of his travels, his family's history, and also Nova Scotia's seafaring heritage. Together with Allison Lawlor, Frank has created a story that weaves Captain Crowell's life into his family's Loyalist roots and personal reflections. One grandson's loving tribute to his grandfather - a daring mariner who saw the end of a golden era of wooden ships and iron men. The Roar of the Sea, as told by Capt. William Arthur Crowell, was transcribed by his grandson, Frank Leaman, in the early 1950s. The original text has been edited by Allison Lawlor. Leaman's memories and reflections, as well as the family's Loyalist history, were recorded by Lawlor in 2014 and added to the original edited manuscript. Previous edition published in 1955.
