Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a memoir by J.E. Patterson, is a first-hand account of a voyage through the Atlantic, aboard the sailing ship 'Sappho', in 1917. The author takes us on a journey of more than 8,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, from the West Coast of the United States to the Port of London. Throughout his voyage, Patterson recounts the minutiae of seafaring life aboard a sailing ship, from arduous work schedules to superstitious habits of his shipmates. He discusses not only the personalities of the crew but the challenges faced on the voyage and the psychological factors that play into making seafaring a unique experience. The author provides a distinctive insight into the hearts and minds of sailors, offering readers an in-depth understanding of the camaraderie and resilience of those working at sea during this time in history. As a rich description of a bygone era of seafaring, this book offers welcome insights into a world that is seldom documented and often mythologized.
