Book excerpt: Born in Liverpool in 1893, my grandfather, Charles Edward Andrews was just an ordinary lad, who grew up with a passion for people and an ambition for the world. One of Charlie's biggest dreams of becoming a proud seaman, meeting people from all walks of life, serving on the finest of vessels, sailing the high seas, finally came true. Amazingly though, of all the experiences Charlie endured at sea, not one event could compare to the most traumatic: Titanic's lifeboat number sixteen! Throughout his seafaring years, Charlie battled on through many life threatening events, including the sinking of Titanic, and still continued to serve at sea: braving the oceans through two world wars, following the sea further with wisdom until his retirement. Every seaman has a story to tell, but this incredible story is Charlie's!
