Author: first_name: Jack

Language: English
Year: 1914

This is the story of a voyage of a sailing ship from Baltimore to Seattle, east-to-west around Cape Horn in the winter. It is set in 1913 and the glory days of “wooden ships and iron men” are long over. The Elsinore is a four-masted iron sailing vessel carrying a cargo of 5000 tons of coal. She has a “bughouse” crew of misfits and incompetents.<br><br>This book was published in 1915 and some actions of some of the characters seem odd to us today. There is romance, but it is strangely platonic. T
