Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ocean Scenes, or the Perils and Beauties of the Deep: Being Interesting, Instructive, and Graphic Accounts of the Most Popular Voyages on Record, Remarkable Shipwrecks, Hair-Breadth Escapes, Naval Adventures, the Whale Fishery, Etc; Etc The object of the present volume has been to afford a series of brief but graphic sketches, illustrating the pleasures, perils and beauties of the great highway of nations, which might prove both interesting and instructive. It was believed that a miscellany of the kind, which by its variety might not readily tire, and which might be laid down and resumed at frequent intervals, without losing its interest, would be acceptable to both young and old alike. It embraces nearly every subject of importance in the history of navigation and maritime discoveries, while the sketches of nautical manners and adventure are from the most authentic sources. From the examples presented, it will be seen of what astonishing advantage are the virtues of decision, temperance, perseverance, and unwavering hope, in moments of extreme peril and despair. It is the coward only, who at such times deserts his post; bids defiance to orders, and surrenders himself to unmanly fear.
