This volume contains two works by John Bechervaise, born in 1791. The first is a narrative of 'thirty-six years of a seafaring life', published in 1839, describing his experiences in the merchant navy and Royal Navy. The second, from 1847, contains anecdotes drawn from the lives of Bechervaise's messmates.
