Captain's Wife: Seafarers' Voices 7 by Abby Jane Morrell

During the nineteenth century it became increasingly common for merchant service masters to take their wives to sea. Among the first, and most accomplished literature about this subject, is Abby Jane Morrell's account of a voyage between 1829 and 1831 that took her from New England to the South Pacific. Apart from the descriptions of exotic places, much of the interest in this book is the traditional, centuries-old world of the sailor as seen through the eyes of a thoughtful and well-educated woman.
Abby Jane Morrell was born in New York in 1809. She insisted on accompanying her husband on a sealing voyage that was to last three years. However, after their son was born in 1831, she remained at home.
