    The British Merchant Navy fleet in the 1950s and 60s was the largest in the world. The book paints a verbal picture of what life was like in the service at that time. There are many thousands of men and women who have served faithfully both before and after that period, of whom very little is known or has been written about. Oceans Apart is one attempt to redress the balance. It give an autobiographical account of one mans experiences throughout his career from the day he joined the Sea Training School at Gravesend, Kent, aged seventeen to the day he left the sea for good. Written from the viewpoint of an ordinary Deck Hand the book provides an account of the daily life onboard both freighters and tankers, plus one liner. It shows a unique perspective, and gives an insight into the experiences of the silent heroes the country relies upon to ensure provisions for the nation. Oceans Apart is a historical and geographical autobiography where the reader accompanies A.B. Michael John Kenn on his travels and follows his adventures on the high seas. The reader will experience the humorous incidents and endure the hardships, live the solitude and enjoy the camaraderie of a life on the ocean wave. It is a true insight into the souls of the men who have served in the British Merchant Navy.
