Were the young sailors on this journey spies or just holidaymakers in German waters? Julia Jones will explain, using the recently discovered diaries & photos of her father, George Jones, the skipper on this cruise.

The cruise was, on the surface, by four young men, together with a more experienced skipper, who travelled 1300 miles in three weeks: a formidable cruise even in Naromis, a 37’ motor sailer with powerful engines.
