Sea struck / W.H. Bunting.

"Sea Struck is about the final decades of American square-rigged sail, as recorded in firsthand accounts of voyages made by three well-born young men from Massachusetts. There is plenty of adventure - storms, men overboard, a cargo of 'Chinese passengers', discipline that bordered on brutality, and exotic Far East ports - but these interwoven stories also demonstrate the fascinating web of connections in the New England maritime community."--Provided by the publisher.
