"The Dreadnought Boys' World Cruise" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two young naval recruits, Ned Strong and Herc Taylor, as they embark on an exhilarating world cruise aboard the battleship "Manhattan". As the narrative unfolds, the boys find themselves in thrilling situations that test their bravery and naval skills, highlighting their loyal friendship and duty to their country. At the start of the tale, Ned and Herc are enjoying their time in San Francisco after a successful mission that involved rescuing a young woman from a runaway horseāan act that earns Ned commendation and unexpected recognition from the British consul. The opening chapters introduce us to their camaraderie, their pride in serving in the navy, and the adventures they anticipate during their journey. However, as they face challenges both at sea and ashore, including a mission to retrieve straggling sailors in the gritty neighborhoods of Chinatown, their skills and resolve are put to the test, setting the stage for further thrilling escapades on their cruise.
