Some Recollections By Captain Charles P. Low is a memoir written by the titular Captain Charles P. Low, who commanded several clipper ships in the China trade between the years 1847 and 1873. The book provides a detailed account of Low's experiences as a captain, including his interactions with crew members, his navigation of treacherous waters, and his encounters with pirates and other dangers at sea. Low also discusses the economic and political factors that shaped the China trade during this period, providing insight into the workings of the global economy in the 19th century. The book is a valuable historical document, offering a firsthand account of life aboard a clipper ship and the challenges faced by those who navigated the seas in pursuit of trade and adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
