This book uses the personal testimony of over 200 American whalemen to illuminate the social history of deepwater sailing in the mid-1800s. Discussions of sailors before the mast, of shipmasters aft, of seafaring ritual, and of women in shipboard culture differentiate this from any other maritime study.
