The narrative chronicles the life and experiences of sailors on the ship A. J. Fuller during a voyage around Cape Horn to Honolulu at the turn of the 20th century. The text explores themes of seamanship, camaraderie, the struggles of life at sea, and the transition of sailing ships into the age of steam. The opening of the book sets the stage with a vivid introduction to the late 1890s maritime life, detailing the ship's departure from New York. The reader is introduced to the crew's dynamics, the challenges they face, and their hardships as they leave behind the bustling city for the perils of the open ocean. Through Riesenberg's descriptive prose, a sense of camaraderie and the rigors of life aboard the wooden ship come alive, as the sailors grapple with work, weather, and the evolving fate of sailing vessels amidst the dawn of steam-powered transport.
