Download or read book Captain Robinson written by James William Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 1904, at the age of 80, Captain James William Robinson - at the 'earnest request' of his family - began to write down 'some particulars of my early life and occupation and voyages to see'. Perhaps to his own surprise, Captain Robinson not only completed the memoir but revised it with a view to publication. Although noting came of this at the time, his manuscript survives and Robinson's 'tough account of a rough life' is now presented to the public for the first time, with comprehensive notes based largely on the surviving ships' logs and journals from his voyages. Robinson first went to sea as a ship's boy at the age of eleven. He saw his first whale killed shortly before his thirteenth birthday, and he rounded Cape Horn soon after. At the age of fifteen, when he was working for a season at a Tasmanian bay-whaling station, his father died unexpectedly and due to the family's financial circumstances Robinson felt that he had 'no alternative but to follow a seafaring life'. While he worked mainly in the pelagic whaling industry out of Hobart, Robinson also carried a variety of cargoes to all the Australasian colonies, Singapore and the Dutch East Indies, and to gold-rush California. He undertook the only Australian sealing voyage to subantarctic Heard Island and collected guano off the Queensland coast. Ashore, he established and operated mines in both Victoria (gold) and Tasmania (tin). Captain Robinson is a vivid account of an extraordinarily varied working life.

Download or read book Any Budding Sailors written by Alan Arthur Rawlinson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story about a boy's good spirited journey through life, and the slow transition from being a naive, innocent, and wild eyed kid in the London blitz, to a somewhat reflective and philosophical old man residing happily deep in Cornwall. It is a path that all men tread more or less, but having the good fortune to follow a seafaring career, topped up later with a world wide shipping career, makes this a varied and somewhat gifted life. The time spent at sea, and in the Bank Line in particular, had a deep and lasting effect, and why wouldn't it? It was far more than a set of job descriptions. Meeting so many nationalities at all levels, from the Pacific islanders to the urchins of Asia and Africa , and grappling with ever changing demands at sea and in port made for a rich education. The only thing that never waned throughout all the years was a love of the world and its people, and a breathless admiration for the sheer beauty of our surroundings, coupled with boundless enthusiasm and optimism.
