Jenkins Hains is a collection of maritime fiction written in the early 20th century. The book offers a series of interconnected stories that delve into the experiences and adventures of sailors at sea, highlighting themes of disaster, courage, and the psychological struggles faced by those who navigate the treacherous waters. The opening of this work sets the stage aboard a ship where a group of men gathers in the smoking room. Their casual card game is interrupted by a sense of unease as they discuss the looming threat of disaster, prompted by the brooding presence of a taciturn ship officer. Tensions rise as the journalist in the group seeks stories about shipwrecks, eventually leading the morose officer to share his haunting memories as a survivor of a tragic maritime disaster caused by the negligence of a captain who ignored warnings of ice. This harrowing account unfolds the stark realities of life at sea, where human errors can lead to catastrophic consequences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
