Scientific reflections, craftsmanship and practical work are combined in an interesting way. In the subsequent voyage one is met with an amazing adventure and a dramatic shipwreck. Despite many problems and misfortunes, there is an unyielding go-ahead spirit and optimism, peronified in the project leader and author.
