A life in letters: Around the world submerged

Around the world submerged: The voyage of the Triton, published in 1963 was an account by the vessel’s captain, Edward L. Beach of the first ever submerged circumnavigation of the globe made by the nuclear submarine in early 1960. This was the library book I was reading at the age of fourteen. I vividly remember it lying on the coffee table in the room where I made the most personally harmful mistake of my life and lied when asked ‘Are you a Christian?’
