Publisher's Summary:
In the current wave of seafaring literature, no fiction sailor's story can match this true, real-life adventure. With Charles Tyng's Before the Wind, we roam the world of the early 19th century: visit Lord Byron in Italy, King Tamehameha in Hawaii, and skirt Napoleon's prison isle of St. Helena. We learn to siphon rum from the captain's cask, relive the historic battle of The Bulwark and The Chesapeake, and witness an encounter with a mermaid. Armchair travelers will long to run away to sea with Before the Wind.
