Description of this Book
Although the Union Steam Ship Company had briefly offered young New Zealnders on-the-job sea training earlier in the century, its famous officer cadet training scheme began in 1952 and ran until 1986. During that time over 300 young men and women passed through the scheme. It was a time when New Zealand-flagged ships travelled the globe and when life at sea offered adventure and the ticket to a job for life. Many former cadets are now masters or officers of today's ships, others serve as harbour masters or pilots or shipping company managers. It is a lively text based on extensive interviews with former cadets, and in over 100 photpgraphs, Rae McGregor expolores an era when the Union Company and its people were quite literally Sailing to Success.
