About this title

Synopsis

""Recollections By Captain Charles P. Low"" is a book that recounts the experiences of Captain Charles P. Low, who commanded four different clipper ships in the China trade between 1847 and 1873. The four ships that he commanded were the Houqua, Jacob Bell, Samuel Russell, and N. B. Palmer. The book is a memoir of his time at sea, detailing the challenges and adventures of navigating the treacherous waters of the China trade. Captain Low's recollections provide a firsthand account of life on board a clipper ship during the mid-19th century, including descriptions of the crew, the cargo, and the ports of call. The book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of maritime trade and the role of the clipper ship in American commerce. It is a fascinating read that offers a glimpse into a bygone era of seafaring adventure and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
