博客來This gripping memoir, first published in 1939, tells the story of Herbert Elliott Hamblen, a sailor who spent many years at sea in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He vividly describes the dangers and pleasures of life at sea, from violent storms and mutinies to exotic ports of call and chance encounters with famous figures. This book provides a fascinating glimpse of a bygone era of seafaring, and is a must-read for anyone interested in maritime history or adventure tales.
