Overview
This story is a well-written account of a round-trip voyage from New York to Hawaii. The voyage on board a full-rigged timber ship takes place at the end of the 19th century. The story is written in the form of a memoir of the author, who was a member of a team who had just turned 18 at the time. He fills the narrative with interesting stories about his shipmates and particulars of the voyage. A reader learns certain aspects of rigging, sail handling, and other jobs aboard a full-rigged merchant ship during this time period. Thus, it is an interesting read to anyone who has worked on square-rigged boats who will enjoy this book.
