Ancient Mariner by Ken Mcgoogan

In 1757, when 12-year-old Samuel Hearne joined the Royal Navy as an apprentice to the fighting captain Samuel Hood, he was embarking on a life of high adventure. This is a portrait of life in the eighteenth century, taking readers on and off the wooden sailing ships, through Dr Johnson's London and away to the farthest reaches of North America.
