Young Men and the Sea: Yankee Seafarers in the Age of Sail
Daniel Vickers
While historical and fictional accounts have tended to stress the exceptional circumstances or psychological compulsions that drove men to sea, this book shows how normal a part of life seafaring was for those living near a coast before the mid - nineteenth century. It offers a social history of seafaring in the colonial and early national period.
