On The Lightship is a novel written by Herman Knickerbocker Viele in 1909. The story is set on a lightship off the coast of New York City and follows the life of the lightship crew. The protagonist is a young man named Jack who joins the crew as a substitute for his sick father. Jack quickly learns the ropes and becomes a respected member of the crew. The novel is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of duty, loyalty, and the dangers of life at sea. The crew faces many challenges, including a storm that threatens to sink the lightship and a group of smugglers who try to bribe them. The novel also delves into the personal lives of the crew members, including their relationships with their families and each other. Overall, On The Lightship is a gripping tale of life on the high seas and the bonds that are formed between sailors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
