'What are the chances of stowing away?' I asked. All I had to my name were the clothes on my back, a toothbrush, a razor, my passport, and about $3.50, coupled with a prayer in my heart. 'I'll tell you what, mate. If you got guts enough to stowaway, we'll get ye aboard, and we'll take care of ye.' Without knowing it, I was stepping into a small part of history. In his true-life adventure story, Stacy Miller tells the tale of how he wandered across Europe, only to find himself a stowaway trying to get home on the illustrious RMS Queen Mary's final voyage. During the RMS Queen Mary's 'Last Great Cruise, ' a thirty-nine-day historical voyage from Southampton, England, to Long Beach, California, via Cape Horn, Stacy boarded in Lisbon, Portugal, three days out of Southampton with thirty-six days left to her journey. Though intending to stay undercover, he is discovered and made a crewmember in the middle of this international affair. However, Stacy's story isn't just about being a stowaway on a ship. It's about how a twenty-one-year-old American boy grew up, became stranded in Europe, and took a leap of faith to become a part of an historical event. Find out how his story ends in Stacy Miller's action-packed memoir, The Last Stowaway: RMS Queen Mary.
