In all times and ages, the deeds of the men who sail the deep as
its policemen or its soldiery have rightfully been sung in praise,
but there are triumphs to be won by sea and by land greater than
those of war, dangers to be braved more menacing than the odds of
battle. The daily life of those who go down to the sea in ships is
one of constant battle, and the whaler caught in the ice-pack is in
more direful case than the blockaded cruiser. The captain of the
ocean liner, guiding through a dense fog his colossal craft
freighted with two thousand human lives, has on his mind a
weightier load of responsibility than the admiral of the fleet.
This book, originally published in 1902, is a timeless tribute and
historically significant chronicle of the high courage, the
reckless daring, and oftentimes the noble self-sacrifice of those
who use the seven seas to extend the markets of the world, to bring
nations nearer together, to advance science, and to cement the
world into one great interdependent whole.
