Two Years Abaft The Mast: Or Life As A Sea Apprentice is a memoir written by F. W. H. Symondson, detailing his experiences as a young man working as a sea apprentice on a sailing ship in the mid-19th century. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of the daily life and hardships of a sailor during this time period, including the grueling work of climbing the rigging, handling sails, and navigating treacherous waters. Symondson also shares his personal reflections on the camaraderie and friendships he formed with his fellow crew members, as well as the challenges he faced living in close quarters with men from different backgrounds and nationalities. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of sailing ships and the lives of those who worked aboard them, making it a must-read for anyone interested in maritime history or the adventure of life at sea.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
