Jolly Jack Tart - An hilarious navy lark by Dixon Scott 30 Nov 2009

Jolly Jack Tart is a rollicking navy comedy written by national newspaper journalist Dixon Scott.
Scott served in the war-time navy for 3 years - mostly on the cruiser HMS Cumberland.
But he ended his service on a mine-sweeper, just like the hapless hero of his novel.
Jolly Jack Tart is a brilliant ocean-going bundle of laughs from beginning to end.
