Felix Riesenberg

"Captain Riesenberg's Cape Horn is...one of the truly great contributions to the literature of the sea..."
The New York Times

"A grand big volume for mariners, whether old salts or armchair sailors."
The New Yorker

Long out of print, Riesenberg's Cape Horn is one of those monumental books that surrounds a subject. The story of the Cape Horn region, including the Straits of Magellan, from the days of the first discoverers, through the glorious age of sail, to the present time; recounting the exploits of Magellan, Drake, Schouten, Fitzroy, Darwin, Melville, and many others. A splendid narrative by a professional mariner who knew his subject backwards and forwards , and who rounded the Cape himself, this book makes Cape Horn real to those who have never been there and will give a chill of recognition to those who have.
