Before he published his first novel in 1895, Joseph Conrad spent
twenty years in the merchant navy, eventually obtaining his
master's ticket and commanding the barque Otago, in which he sailed
a notable passage from Sydney to Mauritius. This book traces his
sea-career, and shows how Captain Jozef Konrad Korzeniowski, master
mariner, became Joseph Conrad, master novelist. Conrad was injured
on the Highland Forest, burned out of the Palestine, falsely
censured for professional misconduct by the master of the
Riversdale, survived a brief and dangerous posting as a river-boat
captain on the Congo???and finally served as first officer on the
famous Torrens, a passenger ship sailing between Adelaide and Great
Britain.
