Captain Bernard Edwards spent 37 years at sea with the Merchant Navy commanding ships trading worldwide before retiring to pursue his second career as a Naval historian. He first went to sea at the age of seventeen in 1944 as a cadet with Clan Line Steamers. After the war he served with Palm Line in the West African trade and spent fourteen years in command of ships of the United Arab Shipping Company, sailing mainly in the Indian Ocean and Far Eastern waters. His knowledge of the sea and ships has enabled him to become one of the most popular and prolific authors and he is well established as an internationally recognised front rank naval historian.
