Jack Tar's Story examines the autobiographies and memoirs of
antebellum American sailors to explore contested meanings of
manhood and nationalism in the early republic. It is the first
study to use various kinds of institutional sources, including crew
lists, ships' logs, impressment records, to document the stories
sailors told. It focuses on how mariner authors
remembered/interpreted various events and experiences, including
the War of 1812, the Haitian Revolution, South America's wars of
independence, British impressment, flogging on the high seas,
roistering, and religious conversion. This book straddles different
fields of scholarship and suggests how their concerns intersect or
resonate with each other: the history of print culture, the study
of autobiographical writing, and the historiography of seafaring
life and of masculinity in antebellum America.
