Synopsis
On August 14, 1834, Richard Henry Dana, convalescing from an illness, set off for California from his Boston home--via a sailing ship. Using the journals he kept on the voyage, Dana created a classic re-creation of his experiences, both the highs and the lows, in what has long been considered a definitive look at the seaman's life in the 19th century.

Industry Reviews
"It is the story of a man pitted in conflict against the sea, the vast, almost omnipotent element. In contest with this cosmic enemy, man finds his further ratification, his ideal vindication. He comes out victorious, but not till the sea has tortured his living, integral body, and made him pay something for his triumph in consciousness....Dana's small book is a very great book: contains an extreme of knowledge, knowledge of the great element."
