Unable to find employment at home, young Wellingborough Redburn signs on the Highlander, a merchantman out of New York City bound for Liverpool, England. Representing himself as the son of a gentleman and expecting to be treated as such, he discovers that he is just a green hand, a boy, the lowest rank on the ship, assigned all the duties no other sailor wants, like cleaning out the pig-pen, a longboat that serves as a shipboard sty. The first mate promptly nicknames him Buttons for the shiny ones on his impractical jacket. Redburn quickly grasps the workings of social relations aboard ship.
