"Een Kapitein van Vijftien Jaar" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. It tells the adventurous story of the "Pelgrim", a whaling brig commanded by Captain Hull, as well as the challenges faced by its crew during their expedition in the South Seas. The narrative introduces key characters, including Mrs. Weldon and her son Jack, who embark on a journey aboard the ship, while delving into themes of bravery, discovery, and survival. At the start of the novel, the "Pelgrim" is introduced, detailing its specifications, the unfortunate results of its whaling campaigns, and the plans for its new voyage, following a difficult season. Captain Hull, an experienced and competent captain, is tasked with navigating the troubled waters, while he deals with a limited crew. Mrs. Weldon and her five-year-old son Jack board the ship in Auckland due to a delay caused by their own travel complications. Among the crew, we also meet the young apprentice Dick Sand, a resourceful and determined boy whose backstory hints at a life of hardship but has prepared him for the challenges ahead. The narrative sets the stage for their eventual encounter with a shipwreck, foreshadowing adventures that will test their mettle and resolve in this unpredictable sea voyage.
