Published in 1900, this engaging guidebook was written for anyone interested in going to sea or simply curious about the work of sailors. Drawing on his own experience and extensive research, the author outlines the duties, qualifications, and responsibilities of various members of the ship’s company, creating an evocative portrait of a sailor’s life.
