1 1927.05-10 Malcolm Lowry's father expected him to go to Cambridge and enter the family business, but Malcolm wanted to experience the world, and in rebellion against his conventional bourgeois upbringing, convinced his father to let him work as a cabin boy on a ship to the Far East.
"No silk-cushion youth for me, I want to see the world, and rub shoulders with its oddities, and get some experience of life before I go back to Cambridge University".
13 May 1927 his father's chauffeur drove him to the Liverpool waterfront and, while the local press watched, waved goodbye as he set sail on the freighter S.S. Pyrrhus : Suez Canal, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Yokohama, Singapore, Wladiwostok. The five months at sea, until October 1927, gave him stories to incorporate into his first novel, Ultramarine.
