In America's Gulf Coast region, where grounded oil tankers are being broken down for parts, Nailer, a teenage boy, works the light crew, scavenging for copper wiring just to make quota--and hopefully live to see another day. But when, by luck or chance, he discovers an exquisite clipper ship beached during a recent hurricane, Nailer faces the most important decision of his life: Strip the ship for all it's worth or rescue its lone survivor, a beautiful and wealthy girl who could lead him to a better life...

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book; more than I expected...at least after the first few pages of description of crawling inside a ship. Necessary though, to set the scene.
I find this is the first in a series. Will look for the next book.

Released in the Canberra Labor Club at the Bookcrossing meet up. Enjoy.

Picked up at the Labor Club, Civic today. Thank you.
