The story of the modern Canadian writer F. Mowat "The Schooner That Wouldn't Swim" tells about the funny and sad adventures of the crew of the schooner "Happy Daring" in Canadian territorial waters. A subtle description of the nature of the islands, the heart-winning courage of travelers and strong nautical humor will not leave the reader indifferent. For one hundred days, the crew of the ship Leicester, caught in the “eye” of the Snake Ring cyclone, resisted the elements. For a hundred days, a handful of brave men fought for their lives and the salvation of the ship. They won the battle with the raging ocean, the name of the ship and the names of the rescue sailors forever entered the history of navigation through the stormy waters of the North Atlantic. This is the second story in the collection.
