The narrative unfolds primarily at sea, following the adventures of Captain Niquelet and other characters on their ship, La Gazelle. Central figures include the captain, the narrator Léonard, and his friend Ivon, who experiences the trials and tribulations of maritime life, highlighting themes of camaraderie, maritime morals, and the contrast between life at sea and life on land. The opening of the novel introduces us to the characters as they embark on a sea voyage, emphasizing the relief sailors feel when at sea, away from the troubles of land. Captain Niquelet, initially amiable, reveals a serious side as he navigates the complexities of command, offering insights on marine ethics and the behavior of crew members. The narrative is laced with reflections on life at sea, touching upon the camaraderie among sailors and the strange customs associated with passage through the Tropic. As they approach tropical waters, rituals and celebrations occur, such as the humorous baptism ceremony for those crossing the Tropic for the first time. The tone shifts to a more serious one as the dangers of piracy and the harsh realities of sailor life loom ever closer, setting the stage for the unfolding adventures.
