The Last Grain Race : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Last Grain Race
''The Last Grain Race'' is a 1956 book by Eric Newby, a travel writer, about his time spent on the four-masted steel barque ''Moshulu'' during the vessel's last voyage in the Australian grain trade. == Background to the book == In 1938 the 18-year-old Newby shipped aboard the four-masted barque ''Moshulu'' as an apprentice. His outbound passage from Europe to Australia was via the Cape of Good Hope. His return was around Cape Horn. ''Moshulu'' was at the time the largest sailing ship still transporting grain. While 1939 was arguably the last Grain race worthy of the name, as it was followed by World War II and the consequent near-total interruption of commercial shipping, commercial sailing ships still sailed the route after the war for two more years in 1948 and 1949.〔(pamir.chez-alice: ''The grain races'' ) (retrieved 1 December 2006)〕
