I just loved this--great classic potboiler with about half maritime stuff and half shipboard drama. Lovely writing. I'll be seeking out more Gann. (On a side note, if you like movies that stay true to the book, the author adapted a 1958 star vehicle manqué with Rock Hudson and Cyd Charisse. Cyd's acting in particular gets a bad rap, but her character and the movie in general I found impressively faithful to the novel's premise).
