Synopsis

On Many Seas: The Life And Exploits Of A Yankee Sailor is a memoir written by Herbert Elliott Hamblen. The book chronicles the author's life as a sailor, detailing his experiences on various ships and voyages across the world's oceans. Hamblen's story begins with his early life in Maine, where he grew up in a family of sailors. He then goes on to describe his first experiences at sea, including his time as a cabin boy and his first voyage to Europe. Throughout the book, Hamblen shares his adventures and challenges at sea, including his encounters with storms, pirates, and other dangers. He also describes the daily routines and traditions of life on board a ship, as well as the camaraderie and friendships he formed with his fellow sailors. In addition to his personal experiences, Hamblen also provides historical context for the time period in which he lived and sailed. He discusses the impact of World War I on the shipping industry, as well as the changes in technology and navigation that occurred during his career. Overall, On Many Seas offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a sailor during the early 20th century, and provides a unique perspective on the history of seafaring and maritime culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Whatever value this book may have is due to the fact that it is the plain story of a plain man, told in his own words. I had often listened to his stories with pleasure, and at last persuaded him to write them down, and it is but just to him to say that my task as editor has been confined to cutting out some yarns which, however suitable to the leisure of the forecastle, would have taken up too much space in print.
