Sea

Mr. Midshipman Easy

by Frederick Marryat

Jack Easy, raised by a philosopher father to believe that all men are equal, joins the Royal Navy and tries to argue with his captain. Marryat was a naval captain himself and wrote with gusto about life aboard a warship in the Napoleonic Wars. It is lively, silly and full of the sea.
