Description
pubOne.info present you this new edition. The story of American ships and sailors is an epic of blue water which seems singularly remote, almost unreal, to the later generations.
A people with a native genius for seafaring won and held a brilliant supremacy through two centuries and then forsook this heritage of theirs.
The period of achievement was no more extraordinary than was its swift declension.
A maritime race whose topsails flecked every ocean, whose captains courageous from father to son had fought with pike and cannonade to defend the freedom of the seas, turned inland to seek a different destiny and took no more thought for the tall ships and rich cargoes which had earned so much renown for its flag.
