HTML version by Al Haines. "Captains Courageous: A Story of the Grand Banks" by Rudyard Kipling is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Harvey Cheyne, the spoiled son of a wealthy businessman, who falls overboard during a voyage and is rescued by fishermen. The narrative explores themes of adventure, growth, and the clash between privilege and hard work as Harvey is thrust into the gritty world of commercial fishing. At the start of the novel, we encounter a lively exchange in the smoking room of a ship heading towards the Grand Banks. The focus is soon drawn to Harvey, a wealthy and disrespectful teenager, who is perceived as a nuisance by the ship’s crew. His attitude sets the stage for his character development as he grapples with the realities of life at sea after being saved by a fisherman named Disko Troop. Following his rescue, Harvey experiences seasickness, cultural shock, and a loss of his privileged lifestyle. The opening thus hints at a journey of self-discovery for Harvey as he learns the value of hard work and humility among the fishermen aboard the "We're Here".
