My 48 Years at Sea

From Deck Boy in Denmark to Captain in America

Completely revised and updated for 2020, My 48 Years at Sea provides the reader with a fascinating look at the life of a merchant seaman in the 20th century. His adventures include harrowing stories of survival on storm-tossed ships, funny anecdotes of unforgettable characters encountered on his journeys and the rescue of stranded Vietnamese refugees looking for a better life. Since the publication of the first edition of his story, Pedersen has been fortunate enough to reconnect with some of the people he helped those many years ago, and their stories are also included.

well done!

One learns much about the life of a professional seaman. Most enjoyable read. One learns about the power and benefits of sea farers unions.
