Two Years Before The Mast

 

This classic novel recounts the voyage of a clipper ship navigating the awe-inspiring route from the Boston harbors to Cape Horn to the California coastline. A two-year sea voyage starting in 1834 and published in 1840. Richard Dana ( Dana Point, CA ) It is of note that he did not set out to write Two Years Before the Mast as a sea adventure, but to highlight how poorly common sailors were treated on ships.
