Wrecked among Cannibals in the Fijis; a Narrative of Shipwreck & Adventure in the South Seas, by William Endicott, Third Mate of the Ship Glide, with Notes by Lawrence Waters (1923) [Leather Bound]
Description:A hundred years ago the young men and boys living in New England seacoast towns could easily find in the forecastles of locally builtships, an opportunity to gratify a desire for adventure and a sight of foreign lands. Many of their shipmates would be neighbors or come from nearby towns and all who intended to follow the sea looked forward with anticipation and pride to the day when they might be able to ship as an officer or be given the command of a vessel. It was no unusual thing at that time for officers and captains to be under twenty years of age and the ship and the sea then possessed a romance and a lure not to be found in the present-day age of steam. The following narrative describes in matter-of-fact language, the experiences of one of these twenty-year old lads who shipped out of Salem, Massachusetts, as third officer in a fine ship bound for the South Seas.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
