Two Years before the Mast [electronic resource] / Richard Henry Dana Jr..

Dana Jr., Richard Henry, (author.). Mayes, Bernard, (reader.). hoopla digital. (Added Author). Read by Bernard Mayes. (Cast).

Summary:

Richard Henry Dana referred to this book as "a voice from the sea." Influencing such authors as Conrad and Melville, it has become a maritime classic that has inflicted legions of men with a passion for the sea. Dana, a law student turned sailor for health reasons, sailed in 1834 on the brigPilgrimfor a voyage from Boston around Cape Horn to California. Dana Point was named as a result of this journey. Drawing from his journals,Two Years before the Mastgives a vivid and detailed account, shrewdly observed and beautifully described, of a common sailor's wretched treatment at sea, and of a way of life virtually unknown at that time. This is a breathtaking true storyof adventure on the high seas.
