In 1808 at the age of 13, Charles Tyng began service aboard the brig Cordelia as a 'ship's boy.' By his fourth voyage, Tyng had become a mate, and captain of his own ship by his early twenties. Tyng made and lost fortunes in tea, sugar, and cotton while voyaging across the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Caribbean, with visits to Cuba, China, Europe, Indonesia, etc. He recounts his associations with Lord Byron, King Kamehameha of Hawaii, the British princess (later queen) Victoria, and others. From the Dust Jacket: "From mermaids to mutinies, shipwrecks to cholera, the life of Charles Tyng was a nonstop voyage of adventure. His quarter century under sail took him around the world half a dozen times. Fortunately, he proved to be as natural a storyteller as he was a sailor." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. 8vo. xviii, 270pp . Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
