Captain Heinrich Paasch first went to sea at the age of ten in 1845. After doing service in the German and Danish Navies and in the German, Dutch, and American Merchant Navies, he got his own command of a Russian ship at the age of 27. From 1879 he settled in Antwerp practicing as a ship surveyor to Lloyd’s Register, eventually investing a significant sum in printing 5,000 copies of this book which first appeared in 1885 as From Keel To Truck.
