A brutal sea captain, an inhuman chief mate, and an indignant crew set out to sea together—an obvious equation for disaster. This is the gripping tale of this voyage, and of Mr. Royle, the mild second mate who rises to the occasion, overcoming mutiny and shipwreck in an attempt to save the lives of two innocent civilians.

Apart from its legal bearings, A Marriage at Sea is a readable story. The hero, though not much of a sailor, owns a yacht, and in it he carries off Miss Grace Bellassys from the school at Boulogne to which she has been consigned by the villain of the piece, who happens to be here aunt and guardian -- a lady who wishes to make the girl turn Catholic though both her parents were Protestants.

Second mate William Lee narrates this spellbinding tale of a captain’s madness, a woman’s devotion, a shipwreck, and a dangerous escape from an island. Of this 1880 novel—about the doomed voyage of the sailing ship Waldershare—the author maintained “There is not an incident that is not true.” Some events he depicts he experienced himself.

A sailor stranded on an iceberg discovers a trapped pirate vessel, its crew encased in ice for fifty years. A campfire thaws out French corsair Jules Tassard, who offers to share his treasure before descending into murderous madness. This 1887 nautical horror yarn predates H. G. Wells’ use of suspended animation as a plot vehicle.

A wealthy sea captain’s beautiful daughter is suddenly kidnapped! The father’s frantic chase leads to a sea battle in the English Channel. Admiral Nelson himself makes a cameo in this 1906 novel, which features vivid depictions of life in an old English seaport during the era of the Napoleonic wars.

In 1820, Captain Pope and Captain Crystal—experienced sailors, gentlemen, privateers, and rogues—set sail in search of treasure. What they find instead is a reluctant crew, slavers, sea battles, an uncooperative earl, shipwreck, romance, and death in this 1897 nautical yarn.

This is the tale of the kidnapping of a sea captain's daughter, his frantic pursuit of her, and a fight in the English Channel. Enlivening the novel is an unforgettable cameo appearance by Admiral Lord Nelson.
