The Cruise of the Mary Rose; Or, Here and There in the Pacific
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"The Cruise of the Mary Rose; Or, Here and There in the Pacific" by William H.G. Kingston is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores the journeys and experiences of sailors amid the Pacific islands, focusing particularly on the work of Christian missionaries and their encounters with various indigenous cultures. Through the perspective of the main character, David Harvey, and his family background steeped in religious tradition, the book reflects on piety, morality, and the clash of civilizations. The opening portion of the text sets the stage for the voyages undertaken by the crew of the Mary Rose, highlighting the family values and Christian beliefs that shape David’s upbringing. It introduces Uncle John's journal, which serves as a historical record detailing both the experiences of the sailors and the accounts of missionaries in the Pacific. David's reflections on his father’s teachings regarding the importance of faith and missions provide context for the moral dilemmas faced by the characters. The narrative hints at upcoming adventures where the crew will encounter the traditions, beliefs, and sometimes violent cultures of the various islanders they meet, while simultaneously contemplating the broader implications of their Christian mission.
