Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a man who spent his life at sea. It delves into the experiences of a young sailor from his early days on the Hudson River to his travels as a shipââ â¢s captain navigating the globe. The author, a seasoned sailor himself, chronicles the highs and lows of this life, detailing not only the physical challenges and perils of the ocean but also the spiritual journey of a man grappling with sin and seeking redemption. The book is a fascinating testament to a bygone era of seafaring. It brings to life a time when sailors faced hardship, danger, and loneliness on a scale difficult to comprehend today. The authorââ â¢s personal accounts of shipwrecks, storms, and close calls, punctuated by insightful reflections on his moral struggles and evolving faith, offer a unique window into the life of a man shaped by the sea. The book's true strength, however, lies in its exploration of a central theme: the search for meaning and purpose in the face of adversity. The authorââ â¢s honest portrayal of his own failings and his gradual journey towards faith resonates with readers seeking to understand the power of personal transformation. This is a powerful and captivating story of a life lived on the edge, where the vastness of the ocean reflects the boundless potential of the human spirit.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Ex-library. Binding firm, spine ends rubbed, damp stains to end both end pages. Interior tanned but clean and unmarked. Captain Congar, though otherwise a fine, upstanding, and apparently extremely religious man, nevertheless seems not to have made it into the Pacific at any time in his long sailing career. We include this here because the author is well-known for his works on Hawaii, whaling, and the island world of the Pacific, and surely no Reverend Cheever-enthusiast can be without the Congar title. *** 266pp. *** Published 1851.
