Have you read “The Sea Wolf” by Jack London? A really great read!
Good book, but a terrible ending.
I’m not sure I ever read it...will add it to my list.
Reading another great Roberts sea novel right now about the War of 1812 — Captain Caution. Written in 1934, it was made into a movie with Victor Mature in 1940.
It’s wonderful hearing the French captain Argandeau talk about “rabbits” (I.e., ladies).
