Jackiron: A Caribbean Adventure

Description

A destitute American charter boat captain in the Caribbean reluctantly accepts an impossible job. The unscrupulous owner of a small coastal freighter asks him to skipper an old rust bucket loaded with drilling equipment from Trinidad to Guadeloupe. Neither the ship nor the crew are seaworthy. It takes steely determination, luck, expert seamanship, and two trips to overcome storms, leaks, engine trouble, and mutiny.
