Description
A wonderful story written to help celebrate the TSS Earnslaw's 100th anniversary. Joe is confined to a wheelchair and has a fascination with boats - in particular the Earnslaw. His Grandad gives him a very exciting birthday present - a trip on the Earslaw over to Walter Peak with his Mother and Grandad, which turns into an eventful day resulting in the rescue of two kayakers. A special gift given to him by Captain Tom gives Joe the courage to face an operation that will help him to walk.
