After being shanghaied aboard the bark Sindia and surviving a shipwreck on the New Jersey Shore, a twelve-year old Japanese boy finds himself thousands of miles from his home and family - alone on the bustling docks of New York City. The year is 1901, and Takashi has made his way to New York's South Street Seaport, determined to find passage home. Our resilient young hero's adventure continues in this sequel to Takashi's Voyage. Set in a changing world - the end of the age of tall ships - Takashi becomes the cabin boy on the Astral, and begins another voyage, this one hopefully taking him home at last.The book includes a nautical glossary, a cookie recipe, and an author's note about the difference between fact and fiction in a historical novel.
