The Last Cargo Ship

Paul Mann

The Last Cargo Ship is set in a general cargo ship at the fag end of the great days of the British merchant fleet.



“A ribald, bawdy and contemporary tale of life on board a cargo ship and all the pains and pleasures, discomforts and delights that go with it, as experienced by Alex, the ship’s gay purser. From the much hated captain to the drunken doctor, this is a vibrant and colourful novel.” RYAN DAVIES GAY TIMES
