"Stormy
Passage" by Paul
McGehee. The square-rigged ship "Tusitala" in rough seas. The
"Tusitala" was named after the Polynesian word for "teller of tales",
which the natives used to describe author Robert Louis Stevenson during
his journeys to the islands. "Tusitala" was the last large sailing
vessel of its kind to regularly carry commercial cargo under the
American flag, well into the 1940's. She ended her long career as a
training vessel, and was a frequent visitor to ports from Seattle to
Baltimore.
