Based on scraps of information the author has pieced together about his seafaring great-great uncle, The Way of a Ship imagines a trip aboard a massive square-rigger, the Beara Head, hauling coal from Liverpool, England, to Valparaíso, Chile, in 1885. While Lundy knows that his uncle was indeed a seaman on such a trip, the details are provided solely from the author's imagination, based on his obviously vast knowledge of the subject matter..
