Excerpt from Life on the Ocean, or Thirty-Five Years at Sea: Being the Personal Adventures of the Author All the incidents of this book are facts from my own personal experience during thirty-five years passed upon the ocean. Of that time I spent four years on board of a whaleship, and thirty-one years on board of merchant vessels. I do not pretend to be a literary character; but I do claim to know how to rig and sail a ship, and to be familiar with whatever is connected with a nautical life.

Captain Paddack first went to sea in 1847 where he spent four years on a whaling boat and the next 31 years on merchant vessels. During his 35 years at sea, Paddack traversed much of the world, often accompanied by his wife and children. Life on the Ocean reads like part travelogue, part ship's diary, and part personal journal. The topics he covers are as diverse as whale fishery, native dentistry, how to make coconut oil, seasickness, officers' duties, seal hunting, discipline on board ship, "colored" crews, storms, wrecks, murders, and mishaps at sea. As captain of various merchant ships, he took oil to Cork, coal to Rio de Janeiro, and sugar to Baltimore. Among the other cargo loads he transported around the globe were ice, lumber, cotton, and even cabbage. While Paddack does not lay any claim to a "literary character" he is "familiar with whatever is connected with a nautical life." Not having a literary bent is a boon in Paddack's case as the resulting prose is clear, informative, and entertaining. Indeed Paddack's ability to write about the extraordinary and the ordinary with equal equanimity is striking. In one breath he can describe the childhood heartbreak of his young daughter after accidentally dropping her favorite doll overboard. In the next breath, he describes how, after a toddler son dies at sea in route to Genoa, he and his wife find themselves unable to bear the idea of a burial at sea and so place the child's body in a barrel and cover it with pickling salt. Aptly named, Life on the Ocean provides a rare window onto the experiences that constituted what must have been the relatively 'normal' life of a ship's captain.

In the nineteenth century, nearly all Native American men living along the southern New England coast made their living traveling the world's oceans on whaleships. Many were career whalemen, spending twenty years or more at sea. Their labor invigorated economically depressed reservations with vital income and led to complex and surprising connections with other Indigenous peoples, from the islands of the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean. At home, aboard ship, or around the world, Native American seafarers found themselves in a variety of situations, each with distinct racial expectations about who was "Indian" and how "Indians" behaved. Treated by their white neighbors as degraded dependents incapable of taking care of themselves, Native New Englanders nevertheless rose to positions of command at sea. They thereby complicated myths of exploration and expansion that depicted cultural encounters as the meeting of two peoples, whites and Indians. Highlighting the shifting racial ideologies that shaped the lives of these whalemen, Nancy Shoemaker shows how the category of "Indian" was as fluid as the whalemen were mobile.

Du site de l'éd.: "The history of the Solomon Islands is in itself an intriguing story, and Dr. Bennett tells it more than well. The depth and breadth of the work is impressive in at least two respects. First, it covers events in the Solomons from initial European contact in the middle-1500s to the country's emergence as an independent and sovereign state in 1978. Second, all facets of colonial history are covered; to name only a few: the early contact period, the whaling trade, the development of plantations, the nature of British colonial rule, and missionization. Considering the scope of this volume, it represents a definitive history of the Solomon Islands, and it will remain so for many years to come."
