Both very good books and the photos add a lot - its called 'Learning the Ropes'; ISBN 0 7195 5636 8, pub John Murray

He had a good camera - Zeiss Super Ikonta, but a separate exposure meter, and taking photos while up the rigging in a force 8 must have been interesting! And the shot of 3 men at the end of a 69 ft bowsprit with no safety netting.....
