Description:
This is the tale of a merchant seaman who got a scholarship from his union to attend law school in 1978. Following an interview at a Washington D.C. law school, the author runs out of money and has to catch a ship while waiting for the law school to decide on whether to accept him. He gets a job aboard a tramp freighter moored at Fells Point, the oldest part of the Baltimore harbor. Read about the author’s adventures in Baltimore during the 10 days he waited for his ship to steam for Indonesia.
John Merriam did attend law school and switched careers to practice law. For the past 39 years he has represented seamen on wage and injury claims. He is still married to the woman he wrote letters to while waiting for his ship to leave Fells Point.
