In 1925, Lewis R Freeman became a correspondent for the United
States Navy Fleet, living and working among them. Traveling all
around the Pacific Ocean, Freeman observed both the environment and
his fellow travelers. Separated into three sections, Stories of the
Ships is a collection of narratives about this time in Freeman’s
life, depicting firsthand experiences and retelling the accounts
and tales of the men that served in the Navy around this time. The
first section, titled, Stories of the Ships introduces Freeman’s
background as a correspondent and discusses the temperament of the
sailors. This section also includes the tale of an old ship that
sailed through most of the seven seas—the Cornwall. The next
section, Life in the Fleet chronicles Freeman’s day-to-day
adventures, explaining his routines, responsibilities, and
revealing his conversations with the crew members and captains.
With nine chapters, this section contains the most stories and is
the largest section of the book. Finally, the last section before
the endnotes, America Arrives, examines the relationship between
America and other countries such as France and Britain through the
conversations and attitudes of the sailors from those other
countries. Freeman recounts several discussions where he was
referred to being unlike other Americans. With these three sections
and the endnotes, Stories of the Ships provides a thorough account
of the many years Lewis R. Freeman spent as a correspondent.
Through the depiction of real-life conversations and experiences
collected around the globe, Stories of the Ships by Lewis R.
Freeman is a fascinating narrative that gives modern day audiences
an intimate and authentic perspective on nautical life. With the
focus on the United States Navy Fleet, Freeman provides privileged
information on the innerworkings of the U.S Navy during the 20th
century. This edition of Stories of the Ships by Lewis R. Freeman
features a striking new cover design and is printed in a modern and
readable font. With these accommodations, Stories of the Ships is
restored to modern standards, while preserving the original mastery
of Lewis R. Freeman.
