Summary:

"Captain Harry Foster Dean's 1929 memoir is the extraordinary and thrilling story of his time in southern Africa around the turn of the twentieth century. His narrative describes several adventures and encounters with important figures in history, but he never loses sight of his main purpose: establishing a colony where diasporic Africans could settle alongside native-born Africans and together build a racial empire. His beloved ship, the Pedro Gorino, was at the center of his plans. A race leader manqǔ, Dean attempted throughout his life to convince Black people everywhere of the importance of the sea for the success of the race."-- Provided by publisher.
