Libera Carlier

Libera Carlier (b. Nijlen, 19 January 1926-Ekeren 25 April 2007) was a Belgian seaman and writer. He attended the "Hogere Zeevaartschool" (E: higher sea-going school) and was a member of the resistance during World War II. When sixteen years old he ran away from home during the war and tried to reach the United Kingdom, but only got to France and was sent back.

Being a captain and river pilot, his tales and novels are mainly related to the sea and the sailors. He made his debut with "De zondagsslepers" (E: The Sunday haulers) in 1957. Well known works of him are "Tussen wal en schip" (E: between rampart and ship) (1977), about the inland shipping, and "Langs de kade" (E: along the quay) (1987) with the port police force in the head role. Both were made into TV-series.
