The Saga of Cimba

This work describes Richard Maury's 1934-35 voyage from New York to Fiji in the small, 35-foot, Nova Scotia-built schooner Cimba. It was a voyage of high adventure, undertaken when such voyages were almost unheard of. Maury and his crew of one survived two major storms in the Atlantic. In the book's conclusion, he loses his beloved boat in another storm, on the reefs of Fiji.
