The Last Great Adventure of Sir Peter Blake: With Seamaster and Blakexpeditions from Antarctica to the Amazon
This large-format hardcover follows the late Sir Peter Blake on his ill-fated final voyage aboard the polar exploration yacht SEAMASTER. As the world knows, Blake was tragically murdered by river pirates in December 2001 while exploring the Amazon. This book tracks that voyage and at the same time pays homage to this extraordinary man. The SEAMASTER voyage began in New Zealand and ascended to 70?? S in the icy waters of Antarctica, then headed north to the rain forests of the Amazon. The ship ultimately sailed approximately 1,000 miles up the Amazon river before Blake was murdered on the return journey.

The story of an amazing boat and even more amazing man's mission to educate and inspire people to love and care for our endangered global environment. Packed with fascinating facts, insights and stunning photography, this book is especially poignant due to Blake's untimely death at the hands of Amazonian pirates and is a beautiful legacy that will hopefully keep Blake's hugely important mission alive.
