The author of the book "On the Seas and Beyond the Seas" is Anna Ivanovna Shchetinina, the world’s first woman captain.
More than forty years she devoted to her profession—difficult, but romantic. Over the years of sailing, A. I. Shchetinina saw much, experienced much, and met many people. And this is what she tells in her book, Captain of long-distance voyages, lecturer at DVVIMU.
