Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Cap'n George Fred" Himself is the spirited autobiography of Captain George Fred Tilton, a legendary figure in the American whaling industry. Born on Martha's Vineyard, Tilton chronicles his remarkable life on the high seas, from his early days as a runaway youth to his eventual rise as one of the most respected masters of the whaling fleet.The narrative captures the grueling yet fascinating realities of the whale fishery during its peak and subsequent decline. Tilton provides a riveting first-hand account of his most famous feat: an arduous and heroic walk across the frozen landscape of Alaska to secure help for a stranded whaling fleet trapped in the ice. Filled with tales of adventure, survival, and the unique culture of the seafaring community, this work serves as an invaluable historical record of the maritime heritage of New England. It offers readers a vivid window into a vanished era of wooden ships and iron men, characterized by Tilton's own dry wit and seafaring wisdom. This memoir stands as a lasting testament to the endurance and ingenuity required to navigate the world's most treacherous waters and remains a classic of maritime literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
