About the author

J. (Joseph) Lamson

A passenger on a gold-rush-era voyage from Maine to California, he turned a brutal trip around Cape Horn into a lively firsthand narrative. His writing brings 1852 sea travel close enough to feel the cramped quarters, rough weather, and strange humor of life on board.
