Synopsis
Hundreds of books have been written on Drake but this one is unique. Michael Turner, a Sherlock Holmes of the sea, is the first Drake author to go beyond the archives to test all the primary sources in the field, on a worldwide scale: all at his own expense. The pictorial, topographical text is laced with research techniques and adventures in reaching all the Drake places. This book reveals the ultimate geographical Drake knowledge, written on location by an intrepid adventurer with a Drake's-eye view. The Drake scholar and the armchair traveller alike will enjoy this book.
