About This Book

A seafaring narrative recounts a long voyage through storms and tropical crossings while observing the routines and relationships aboard ship. The narrator contrasts the freedom and dangers of the ocean with landbound anxieties, and details how a captain’s brusque authority, officers’ tests, and sailors’ habits create a strict but cohesive micro-society. Episodes include practical lessons for passengers, rites and amusements on board, a passenger’s change of identity, fishing, and strange atmospheric phenomena, all woven with reflective asides on command, duty, and the customs that shape life at sea.
