Frederic Marryat gives his reader a witty and exciting tale of adventure, piracy, naval battles, and the 1797 Nore uprising as experienced by men of the Royal Navy. Captain Marryat (1792 - 1848) was a contemporary of Charles Dickens noted for his sea stories. Marryat began writing after a distinguished career in the British Navy.

This book published in 1830 contains some violence.
