Emile Sinkel raconte dans ce livre sa vie de marin, du Cap Horn à la Méditerranée, en passant par les côtes de l'Afrique et les îles de l'océan Indien. À travers une série d'anecdotes et de récits de voyage, il donne un aperçu fascinant de la vie à bord des navires au début du XXe siècle. Les dangers, les joies, les épreuves et les amitiés qui jalonnent son parcours de marin sont racontés avec humour et émotion.
