Annotation:

The book of the famous American writer of the 19th century Richard Henry Dana is devoted to the description of the author's sea voyage as a simple sailor on a sailboat from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean along the coasts of North and South America around Cape Horn.
This is a detailed diary from the life of an American merchant ship; poetic description of the sea element and its inhabitants; An interesting ethnographic document about the life and way of life of Polynesians, Californian Indians and Mexicans. This, finally, is a sociological essay characterizing the position of the sailors of the American merchant fleet of that time.
