"I couldn't finish this book. It was originally published in 1938, I believe, and the writing was a bit impenetrable. Plus, instead of a dispassionate narrator, the author chose to write it as a fictionalized version from the engineer's perspective. It was heavy on naval details, there was the cultural stuff from the 30's which just wouldn't be written like that today, and...I gave up. Am going to try the Guttridge book on the Jeannette instead, because even though I didn't really like his Greeley book, it's got to be more readable than this one."
