Tim Severin

Amongst his adventures Tim has sailed a leather boat across the North Atlantic in the wake of St. Brendan and captained an Arab sailing ship from Muscat to China to examine the origins of the tales of Sinbad the Sailor. He has also sailed the Pacific on a bamboo raft and pursued the great white whale of Melville's famous novel among the islands of the Pacific. He has written books about all these adventures, which have won him the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award, The Book Of The Sea Award, a Christopher Prize and the literary medal of the Academie de la Marine. His journeys have also been recorded in award-winning documentary films which have become classics of exploration and adventure. At film festivals they have won prizes for Best Cameraman, Best Film of the Sea and Best Adventure Film.
