Privateer - Life aboard a British Privateer in the time of Queen Anne. 1708 - 1711, Annotated, and illustrated Author's edition. (Historic Characters Book 1)
Description:This is the extraordinary story of a Privateer, who in a voyage of three years, raided and plundered the rich Spanish territories in the New World, captured a small fleet of enemy ships, rescued the real-life Robinson Crusoe, and circumnavigated the globe. He suffered many trials and vexations - storms, disease, mutineers and malcontents; and overcame all in a surprisingly, gentlemanly manner; caring for his officers and crew with a humane, enlightened, and almost modern approach. He was one of the first seafarers to ship limes to protect his crew from scurvy; and in an era of brutality and neglect - where life at sea was uncompromising; he stands out as being the epitome of a daring and resourceful commander, but one who balanced risk alongside the health and well being of his men.His name was Captain Woodes Rogers, Master Mariner, and this is the updated edition of the narrative portion of his journal.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
