Summary: "Under the Mizzen Mast: A Voyage Round the World" by Nehemiah Adams is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative recounts Adams' personal experiences during a round-the-world voyage aboard the ship "Golden Fleece," which was captained by his son. Through this journey, the author reflects on the maritime life, offering insights into the beauty and challenges of sea travel, while also sharing observations about the people and cultures encountered along the way. The opening of the book introduces readers to the author's motivations for embarking on this voyage after being advised to seek rest through travel due to health concerns. The author shares preparatory moments leading up to departure, detailing the emotional farewells with family, the ship's elegant yet practical design, and the camaraderie among the sailors. As the journey begins, the narrative captures the initial strains of sea life, the excitement of setting sail, and the tranquility of the tropics, highlighting Adams' meditative and philosophical musings on nature, life at sea, and the friendships formed during the passage.
