Synopsis:
A true American classic adventure book, Two Years Before the Mast is the true story written by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. about his time at sea as a common sailor.
Born into a wealthy New England family in 1815, Dana had a youthful love of adventure. After suffering a severe attack of measles while studying in Harvard he joined the brig, Pilgrim, bound for the California coast, a trip that would last two years.
Join Dana as he departs Massachusetts with a crazed captain and sails south round Cape Horn in South America through the icy waters of Chile towards California. Dana shares something new on every page: whale songs and icebergs, smashing storms, the captain’s violent discipline, the total silence of the sea at night.
A True American Sailing Adventure Classic!
