Windjammer Days: Circling the Globe in 1888 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271082467)

In 1888, a young man from Maine set out on a circumnavigation of the globe aboard the American barque S.C. Allen. Departing Boston for Melbourne, he crossed the Atlantic and Indian Oceans via the Cape of Good Hope, weathering calms, shifting winds, and a violent hurricane that left many ships damaged or destroyed. He records life aboard the square-rigged vessel with clarity and dry humor, observing the work of the crew, the structure of the ship, and the changing moods of the sea.
