"Seefahrt ist not!", das ausdrucksstarke Epos über die See erschien 1913 und ist bis heute ein Meilenstein maritimer Literatur. Johann Kinau, 1880 als Sohn eines Fischers in Finkenwerder geboren, schrieb als "Gorch Fock" Erzählungen über die See und das Leben an Bord. Er selbst wurde zunächst Buchhalter. Im Krieg zu den Waffen gerufen, setzte er alles daran, in der Marine zu dienen. 1916 fiel er - erst 36-jährig - in der größten Seeschlacht der Geschichte, der Skagerrakschlacht. Gorch Focks Bücher werden bis heute gelesen.
