Overview of Charles Benson: Mariner of Color in the Age of Sail - VICTORIAN ERA BLACK SAILOR FROM MASSACHUSETTS

Item Details

Very good condition, hardcover, with letter from publisher, "What a miserable life a sea faring life is," wrote steward Charles Augustus Benson (1830--1881) in his journal in 1862. As a career mariner for nearly two decades, he was well acquainted with the common privations and tribulations of life at sea. But as a black man, Benson faced even greater challenges, especially when it came to his duties, his shipboard status, and his interactions with the other men on board. In nineteenth-century America, thousands of black men served as sailors. What makes Benson distinctive is the detailed diary he kept, a fascinating narrative that documents his experiences and feelings."
