Coggeshall's Voyages - the Recollections of an American Schooner Captain-Volume 1 (Hardcover)

Volume one of a classic seafaring memoir
George Coggeshall's name is a renowned one among American merchant seafaring men of the early nineteenth century.

In this, the first volume of Coggeshall's voyages, we join the author at the age of just sixteen aboard the schooner 'Charlotte'.
