In the late 18th century, it was widely thought that to be a sailor was little better than to be a slave. "No man will be a sailor," wrote Samuel Johnson, "who has contrivance enough to get himself into jail. A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company." If that were true, historian Nathan Miller suggests, then the record of sailing in the age of tall ships would likely be distinguished by few heroes and fewer grand narratives.

excellent research, fascinating detailed, and definitive narrative on a age of maritime history. Brings to light what was a formative time period for those island nations dependent upon sea power. JB Hall. USCG, usmma 95
