Black and white illustrations [From front jacket flap] In 1909, a young man of 18 began his career with a mutual insurance club little suspecting that he would become its manager and, 78 years later, would mark the club's centenary by writing its informal history. But this book is more than just history. The author explains in simple terms the role played by mutual clubs ... he introduces us to the men who built great merchant fleets . . . and reminds us that our maritime heritage must be treasured. Martin Fryer, now 96, is still actively involved with the club . . . the Newcastle Protection & Indemnity Association.
