Synopsis

Captain W.H. Angel's account of The Clipper Ship "Sheila" stands as a raw, unfiltered window into the merchant marine world of the late nineteenth century. More than a tale of a ship, it is a record of the people, ports, trades, hardships, and customs that defined the closing years of the Age of Sail. From storms and shipboard incidents to commercial ventures and distant colonial ports, Angel chronicles the realities of life at sea while exploring the lasting effects of slavery and the economic systems that survived its abolition. Filled with sea shanties, maritime lore, and the observations of a working shipmaster, The Clipper Ship "Sheila" offers a rare first-hand account of a vanished world.
