"Chatham Sea Captains in the Age of Sail" chronicles the lives and
adventures of twenty-five men who traveled the seas from the
eighteenth through the twentieth century. These were extraordinary
men masters of navigation who charted paths from the Cape to the
Far East with their regal clipper ships; deep-sea fishermen whose
fearless spirit drove them to the Grand Banks and Newfoundland in
the quest for their catch; and coastal captains who skirted
America's eastern seaboard in pursuit of trade. Spurred on by the
Industrial Revolution's demands, these mariners continued their
pelagic exploration while pirates, privateers and Confederate
raiders tested their mettle. The sea was both foe and ally. To meet
the foe was the challenge; to sail her waters and return home as
true masters was the force that drove these men to excellence.
