Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Man of War Life written by Charles Nordhoff and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many a restless teenager before him, Charles Nordhoff craved excitement and in 1844, when barely 14, he managed to talk his way into the US Navy. A bookish lad who had been apprenticed to a printer, Nordhoff was better educated than most of his fellow seamen, and was well equipped to describe what became a three-year round-the-world adventure. He was lucky in his ship, USS Columbus, a large 74-gun ship of the line that had been chosen to undertake a diplomatic mission to China, and then to Japan, in an abortive attempt to open the latter to American trade. In the course of this voyage, Nordhoff was to see many countries of south-east Asia and the Far East, before crossing the Pacific, visiting South America, rounding Cape Horn, and finally returning to Norfolk, Virginia, having crossed the Equator six times. Apart from its descriptions of exotic climes, much of the interest in the book lies in a boys view of naval life and how the ship was run. The US Navy was small and followed very conservative principles, with an emphasis on discipline, routine and training that would have been familiar a century earlier. However, it was also subtly different: more humane in its treatment of the crew, less draconian in punishment, and a promoter of what would be considered Victorian moral values. The book offers a valuable and entertaining account of life in the last days of the sailing warship.

Download or read book Sailor from Oklahoma written by Floyd Beaver and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailor from Oklahoma presents the life of the enlisted seaman, both before and during the war, as seen through the eyes of a young sailor from the west, who joined the Regular Navy before Pearl Harbor. Its scope spans the twilight of peace to the final days of World War II, treating the preparation for war and the actual fighting. The perspective is that of seaman to chief petty officer, and their relations with commissioned officers of all grades. How they lived, what they felt, what were their dreams and ambitions...both for the war and afterwards. How they adapted to their new world of modern weapons and the flood of reserves who so disrupted their accustomed lives and who openly sneered at revered customs and traditions. The book is meant to portray, if not explain, the world of the professional Regular Navy man as contrasted with that of the more accepted civilian world from which they had been sequestered for so long. The wartime Reserves, by the sheer weight of their numbers, were dominant throughout the war years. The book describes what essentially a clash of cultures was in a time of great psychic and physical stress, and the effect that clash had upon the conduct of the war.
Download or read book One Man s War written by Richard Beale and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actor Richard Beale was a young officer in the Royal Navy during the Second World War. In the summer of 2014, he sat down to write a memoir of that time, now more than 70 years ago. The result is an engaging and often humorous account of his wartime service in the Royal Navy, from just prior to joining up until his demobilisation and subsequent return to civilian life. During his naval career, Richard rose from a humble rating to become commander of a series of coastal patrol craft, the last of which was HMS ML 135, sailing one from the UK to Malta and latterly covering the Royal Navy's campaign in Greek and Croatian waters, including minesweeping duties. His story includes accounts of a number of key engagements, including one in which he was badly wounded, and encounters with Greek bandits and British spies. But it is not simply a naval memoir, as he also recalls memories of love affairs, special friendships and the enduring companionship of his beloved spaniel, Simon, who accompanied him in the initial stages of his career.
