1856. In One Volume,
Illustrated George
Coggeshall had a long and often
adventurous seagoing career, during which he kept
detailed journals. Upon his
retirement he mined
material from his journals and produced several books of seafaring memoirs. Of his writing style it has been said that Coggeshall wrote a clear, terse, seamanly English flavored with a dash of quiet elegance. His strength lies in his details.; his best writing, in fact, can stand comparison with the novels of Daniel Defoe. In this volume Coggeshall remembers the ships and commandeers that sailed from our ports during the war..
