Two Years Before the Mast

20 Nov 19:

I might be the last person to read the famous journal Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. He Sailed from Boston in 1841 for the California and wrote about his experiences on the brig PILGRIM over the next two years. It is a fun read, a good reference for where all of those salty sailor terms came from.
