This vintage book is a collection of historical sailing stories and anecdotes, with details of excursions from American ports to a variety of far-off locations. These fascinating and authentic stories will appeal to anyone with an interest in historical sailing, and will also be of utility to modern sailors panning to traverse the routes described. Contents include: "In Forecastle-The Half Clipper 'Ariel'", "Boys' Duties in the Forecastle-At Ne York Loading for Liverpool", "The Passage to Liverpool-Jack Afloat and Ashore", "Crossing the Line-Fernando Norobna-The Malays", "Boat Towns on Canton River-Loading Teas-Homeward Bound", "Rio De Janeiro-Cape Horn-Otaheite", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing. This book was first published in 1914.
