Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Seaman´s Life on Board a Man-of-War Mr. Plimsoll has, by his energy and enthusiasm, drawn public attention to the lamentable condition of Merchant Seamen in many ships; and much sympathy has been evoked on their behalf with good effect. It would not be unnatural if the readers of Mr. Plimsoll s books and speeches asked - How do our men-of-war´s men fare? What advance have they made from a religious and moral point of view? How are they treated? Are they sufficiently numerous? A detailed answer to such questions will he found in the following remarks. Their countrymen need have no anxiety as regards the first three questions, but in respect to the last opinions widely differ. A few words will describe a Sailor´s life on board a man-of-war, such as it was in the memory of many living men. No leave to go on shore from the day the ship was in commission until paid off. No wages until paid off, but occasional prize money. The ship filled with prostitutes at every port, by permission of the Commanding Officer.
