Description
The story of Captain Harold Chesterman was one of the many quiet contributors to our society heroes, really who have lived among us without widespread recognition. Master Mariner follows this remarkable man’s professional association with the sea. From when he was one of the few Australian lads enrolled in a British maritime training college to when he captained a support ship that serviced lighthouses and beacons along the Queensland coast.
