I am reading William McFee just now. He knew Joseph Conrad though he was about 20 years younger. McFee was a marine engineer. When off watch he would go to his cabin and write novels. These tend to be water front noir stories and do not deal with sailing directly. Much of McFee's life was spent in tramp steamers. But for anyone who has seen their shore side skill set become redundant his writing on the passing away of sail will seem sound very familiar. Look for...
