Sea Authors

Totally agree! The "Captain from Connecticut" is a pretty enjoyable book (not Forrester's best, though) in which the seamanship of Captain Paabody and his crew is well depicted.
THANX. Right now I'm focusing on whaling. However I have been a student of history for most of my 74 yerars. The Napoleonic era demonstrates sea power at the height of the age of sail. Seamanship in the catagory of exploration as another animal. So, too, is merchant sailing. I will look up 'Captain from Connecticut'.
