Liberty Ship Trip

By the author of FIRST TRIP. Set during the Korean War this novel LIBERTY SHIP TRIP continues to bring to the reader the adventures of young Joey Vicenzo. In this novel Joey takes a challenging job in the Engine Room of a reactivated WW II Liberty Ship. He has to learn the peculiarities of the steam driven reciprocating engine propelling this ship. He does so... and so will the reader. His romantic forays in ports visited are another story. It is in this latter realm that we hope he will attain the maturity needed to properly handle unexpectedly arising adult issues. In telling this story the author HOWARD VENEZIA knows whereof he speaks. He spent 48 years at sea in both the Navy and the Merchant Marine. He was there!
