Based on true accounts of the sailing vessel called 'The Wanderer'. Originally built for other purposes, the ship was sold and became the last American ship transporting slaves. A work of historical fiction based on a true account of 'The Wanderer' and its voyage bringing African slaves to America, as seen through a sailor duped into working on the ship. Served as the basis for the 1938 film "Slave Ship." Printed in the United States of America. 322 pages. Insured post. This is the story of an American sailor - an officer and a gentleman - shanghaied by deceit rather than by force or choice, aboard the notorious slaver 'Wanderer' - the slaver that sailed under the Burges of the New York Yacht Club. Over two years at sea with a Captain who when sober was a devil incarnate and when drunk was unspeakably worse. With a crew of cut-throats, knaves and murderers on deck, while manacled below in the blackness of the hold in unbelievable filth and horror, six hundred terror-tricken African blacks alternately howled and wept or strained at their chains to escape from the awfulness of their confinement. The Slaver is of an age that has passed - an unwholesome parcel of history, but like all history it had its romance and heroes. Thrilling, humorous and strong in its characterization of the various types aboard such a ship, this book enthralls from beginning to the last page. The author, Dr. George S. King, a well known surgeon who was brought up as a sailor, has pieced together stories of the sea told him by many old sailors - one of who actually sailed on the 'Wanderer', in an endeavor to depict the life on board. Written by the author while on a voyage from his store of imagination and knowledge. If you love the sea - if you have a ship - if you believe a ship has a soul, this tale you will find interesting. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Stevens, Charles Kirtland (illustratore).
