Song of the Sirens

Few men have lived a life of such challenge and adventure as Ernest K. Gann. In the best selling Fate is the Hunter, he recounted his many years in a professional flying career. In a similar fashion, Song of the Sirens is the story of the ships he has sailed and owned; of his years as master of a commercial fishing vessel, of ocean crossings and of storms and emergencies encountered at sea. Song of the Sirens steps aboard seventeen of Gann’s most beloved vessels. Filled with moments of both high drama and reflective calm, Gann’s ode to his seventeen sirens reveals the true romantic within every sailor. Ernest K. Gann was a sailor, a pilot, and above all, a writer.
