Square-Rigged
Adventurer and lover of the wild Pacific coast from California to Alaska, Jack Calvin uses his own experience aboard a classic four-masted sailing ship to craft the suspense-filled story told in Square-Rigged. His young protagonist, Bert Lindsay, spends forty-nine days at sea with some of the best and worst of human kind. Eyes and ears wide open, he helps untangle - for himself and others - a complex stormy plot filled with themes of adventure, loyalty, malice, and grit. Out of print for some time since its original publication in 1929, Square-Rigged deserves a noteworthy place in the literature of the sea and of the early days of Alaska's commercial fisheries. This reprint re-establishes Jack Calvin's place as a gifted writer in those traditions.

This is an excellent book. I purchased this book while on my honeymoon and I had it finished by the time we landed back in MN, and had the second one ordered by the time we got home. Jack Calvin does a great job bringing you back in time and immersing you in the square rigging culture. Lots of history is also contained in this book.
