Description

This magnificent book follows the late Sir Peter Blake on his final voyage. It tracks the legendary yachtsman/adventurer as he takes the blakexpeditions exploration vessel Seamaster to the environmental pulse points of the planet in order to generate greater awareness of the need to take better care of our world.

The illustrations consist of stunning colour images from the ship's photographers, many of them reproduced in large format. There are also paintings by Pippa, Lady Blake, who was on board Seamaster for part of the Amazon journey.

The fabulous images in this book display the raw beauty of some of the Earth's most remote and beautiful places, the beauty that inspired Sir Peter to want to protect and preserve it for future generations.
