Sam's grandpa sailed on board the Samson for many years. He recounts the many high seas adventures this ship sailed through.

The Story of the Samson
By Kathleen Benner Duble
Illustrated by Alexander Farquharson

Sam's grandpa once sailed with the Samson, a Norwegian seal-trapping ship that braved the treacherous, ice-riddled waters of the Northern Atlantic, survived the unyielding rough seas of the Antarctic, and risked the Caribbean trade routes during World War II. Sam knows his grandpa's stories about the Samson by heart, and together they relive the ship's triumphs and tragedies.
