True story of crossing the Atlantic in an amphibious jeep, the first stage of an attempted trip around the world. "It is half the size of the smallest powered vessel ever to have made the crossing until the Carlins did so, and, need it be said, the only car to have done it under its own power. This book described the journey from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to England, where the Carlins had to settle for a while in order to renovate the jeep [. . .]" - from dust-jacket blurb.
