William Swallow was a wayward boy who became a wayward man. Transported as a convict, he became a diligent escaper, but his greatest exploit was when he and some of his fellows commandeered the Cypress in Recherche Bay Tasmania and sailed to Tahiti. The adventures that follow are as amazing as they are exciting, packed with historical detail and event. Swallow and his companions, and those he inspired, lived in harsh times. Their stories shed entertaining light on a forgotten corner of history. - Sally Odgers, Author Whitehall London was the environment where William Swallow was raised. At fourteen, he joined His Majesty's Navy in order to escape from the filth and degradation of his home. Life at sea was hard; he experienced several floggings for insubordination, but he didn't have a moment of regret. He got to see the world and became an experienced mariner. Swallow's first voyage to Canton, China, was in 1826 aboard the ship Prince of Wales, a 120-gun man of war. The ship's assignment was to escort several British merchant ships from the East India Company who intended to trade with the Chinese. It was on this voyage that his life turned for the worse - he was arrested for pilfering the officer's larder. On arrival back in London he was court-marshalled. James Porter, also a very young seaman, had a similar life to William Swallow. His life also had a turn for the worse. He began his criminal career at the age of eleven. He went to sea and spent a large part of his young life in South America. He was arrested and sent to Sarah Island where he befriended William Swallow. He too embarked on a wondrous journey.

Growing up on the Bay of Fundy, Azuba Galloway dreams of going to sea. She watches magnificent ships slowly making their way into Whelan’s Cove, the sense of exoticism bursting from their holds along with foreign goods. As a young woman, Azuba marries a seasoned merchant sea captain, Nathaniel Bradstock. Unwilling to have him away at sea for most of their married life, and anxious to see far shores, she extracts a promise that he will take her with him. But Azuba becomes pregnant soon after they marry and Nathaniel knows too well the perils of life on a ship. He reneges on his promise and refuses to allow Azuba to join him. When Nathaniel leaves on his journey, Azuba desperately misses her husband. Days turn into weeks and months – voyages can take two, three years before the ship and crew return home. Despite her loneliness, Azuba becomes a strong, independent woman, caring for her child and her home. With her parents and beloved grandmother nearby, she settles into a life of quietude and predictability, all the while yearning to be by her husband’s side aboard his ship. Her loneliness eventually propels her into a friendship with the local vicar, Reverend Simon Walton. He is a quiet, kind and contemplative man, and Azuba takes comfort and enjoyment in their increasingly intimate friendship. One afternoon, despite her misgivings, Azuba goes on a picnic with the vicar and becomes trapped by the tide. When they return home the next morning, Azuba and Reverend Walton have become a topic of gossip. When Nathaniel returns home he is enraged by her impropriety. Reluctantly he decides to take Azuba and their young daughter, Carrie, with him on his next voyage. Mother and child are loaded from a rowboat and hauled onto the weather deck along with barrels of coal and crates of chickens. Nathaniel has drawn a line across the deck. “You’ll never again cross that line,” he instructs Azuba. It is October 1862. It will be three years before Azuba sees the shores of Whelan’s Cove again. Aboard Traveller, the small family visits places Azuba dreamed she would one day see: London, San Francisco and exotic countries in Europe. But she also experiences the terror that can come during a life at sea: a harrowing passage around Cape Horn, half-starvation while listlessly floating in the doldrums, and a stop at the Chincha Islands to pick up a load of guano, where she witnesses a mass suicide by slaves. She begins to question her decision to join her husband, particularly when she realizes there is “no way to erase horror from a child’s memory.” Misery follows misfortune and Azuba feels alone in a male world, surrounded by the splendour and the terror of the open sea. The voyage tests not only her already precarious marriage, but everything Azuba believes in. With a sure hand, Beth Powning captures life aboard a sailing ship – ferocious storms, the impossibly isolated ports of call, the gruelling daily routine – and shows how love evolves even in the most extreme circumstances. The Sea Captain’s Wife is an awe-inspiring tour that captures the vigour of life in the last days of the Age of Sail and gives us an unforgettable young heroine who shows compassion, courage and love while under incredible duress.

The Brave Pirate Captain and the Sea Monsters Here's a brief summary of the story: The exciting story of Captain Oliver and his loyal crew on the beautiful ship Sapphire Serpent takes us to a world where bravery and adaptability are highly valued. Pirates in the past, Captain Oliver and his gang went through a big change that changed how they felt about the water and how the story of piracy is told. At first, their trip is exciting because they don't know what to expect and they might find buried riches. They are brave pirates who sail the open sea without fear because they want to find treasure and new adventures. But the most important part of their trip is when they find a secret island where dangerous sea animals live. Even though his friends are afraid and warn him not to, Captain Oliver takes his crew with full confidence to the Island of the Sea Monsters. They go into the unknown, where strange noises and a foggy beach make them scared. But they keep going because they believe in his guidance. With swords and guns drawn, they move toward the green but spooky island. The focus of their research is an old, overgrown temple that is guarded by stone statues that look like aquatic life. Because Captain Oliver is determined to figure out the island's secrets, they try to solve more of its puzzles. Inside the temple, they find an amazing treasure room full of gold coins, rare gems, and other beautiful things. Their success is short-lived, though, because giant sea monsters that look like snakes come out of the statues and attack them. Over the course of several hours, the crew's patience is tried, but Captain Oliver's unwavering spirit keeps them going. As the fight goes on, Captain Oliver comes up with a daring plan. He tells his crew to lead the sea monsters back into the water. He jumps onto one of the creatures and puts a huge knife through its shining eye, which makes the other one run away. When the crew finds out that Captain Oliver and the sea monsters have run away to the ocean's depths, it takes away from their moment of victory. When they get back to the Sapphire Serpent, they are sad and have changed a lot. They understand that their captain and the money are gone, but that their newfound respect for the secrets of the water is a much better prize. The sea splitting to show Captain Oliver's return is a sign that their story will end in a miraculous way. His knowledge and the change in the team lead to a new plan to protect the ocean and its animals. They go from being thieves to being brave protectors and defenders of the world under the sea. They go all over the world to save marine animals, protect coral reefs, and promote marine protection. They have become well-known for their brave defense of the water, which has inspired people and groups all over the world to do the same. Since Captain Oliver and his crew changed the way people think about pirates for good, the world has never been the same. Plundering and being greedy are replaced by brave duty and working together, which reminds people of how important it is to protect and care for the environment. So, their story lives on as a story of daring, bravery, and bold guardianship. It is a lesson that we all have the power to change and the duty to protect the treasures that lie beneath the water. This is how the story starts: A brave pirate captain named Captain Oliver used to live where the sea and the sky meet. Captain Oliver was known all over the world for his constant love of excitement and lack of fear. As he crossed the vast ocean with his loyal crew on the beautiful ship "Sapphire Serpent," his heart was full of the excitement of the unknown, and their eyes sparkled with the promise of secret wealth. The pirate Captain Oliver was not like the others. He went to the sea not only because he wanted to steal and get rich, but also because he was very interested in the world and wanted to learn more about it. His team worked hard because he was interested in how big the ocean was and how many things could happen there. They were more than just sea pirates. They were also explorers, dreamers, and people who thought the world beyond the sky was magical. The tall "Sapphire Serpent" was a sight to see, with its dark blue sails and black hull. It is said that it was made by skilled shipwrights who put their hearts and souls into every plank and nail. Its figurehead was a beautifully carved sapphire snake that seemed to come to life at night and watch over the crew as they went on dangerous journeys. This ship was more than just a way for them to get around. It was also their home and a place of safety in the middle of the vast seas. The crew of Captain Oliver was as different as the sea. People from all walks of life, from crusty old sailors to wide-eyed kids, were attracted to their brave leader's charisma. Everyone has a unique story to tell, made up of hopes, regrets, and dreams from their past. They became close because they all liked to try new things and cared about each other. Their travels took them to some of the world's most remote places, where not many people had gone before. They saw old secrets and fought through fierce storms that put their strength to the test. Captain Oliver was not only good at leading his team, but he was also a good teacher. He taught them how to navigate and the value of trust and friendship. He thinks that the real treasures are not gold or jewelry, but the bonds that people make with each other on their trip. One bad day, as the "Sapphire Serpent" sailed through blue seas, they found an old map that had been lost for a long time. The map was supposed to lead to the "Isle of Eternal Dreams," a place that sailors whispered about. It was said to hold the keys to wealth, knowledge, and living forever. Captain Oliver and his team decided to follow the mysterious symbols on the map. Their hearts were racing, and they were excited. It took them by islands no one had ever seen before, through dangerous rivers, and right into the middle of the angry sea. They ran into problems that put their faith to the test in a way that had never happened before. Despite everything, they kept going because they trusted each other and had a strong will. After months of hard journey, they finally reached the mythical Isle of Eternal Dreams. The island was a green paradise with emerald woods, waterfalls, and strange animals they had never seen before. Following the directions on the map, they went deep into the island's center and found a secret room with old books, sparkling gems, and a sparkling fountain. Captain Oliver was humbled by how big of a find they had made. He understood that the real treasure was not the money in front of him, but the knowledge they had gained, the experiences they had shared, and the strong bond that held his crew together. He knew that the most valuable things in life were the desire to learn and to try new things. As they sailed away from the island, their sails were full, and their spirits were high. They knew that there were many more places to discover and that their journey was not over. Captain Oliver and his team kept exploring the vast ocean, never giving up and always looking for new things to see. They understood that where the sea and the sky met, the most important things were the ones you carried in your heart, not the ones you could hold in your hands. They kept sailing, always looking to the horizon for their next big experience. There are stories and legends about Captain Oliver and his loyal crew that are told all over the seven seas. People from far away told stories about the brave pirate captain who went out to find both worldly and spiritual riches. The "Sapphire Serpent" came to stand for bravery, optimism, and the understanding that life's greatest treasures are not always things. Along the way, they met sailors, traders, and pirates from all over the world. Captain Oliver was true to his nature and tried to avoid bloodshed whenever he could. He thought that people could get along better on the high seas if they understood each other and worked together. Because he was charming and his team was seen as honest explorers, they often made friends in strange places. Over time, the crew of the "Sapphire Serpent" became known for their acts of kindness and bravery. They would help poor coastal towns, save sailors who had been lost, and share their wealth with those who had less. Because Captain Oliver was a caring and understanding leader, every member of his team learned how to be caring and understanding. As word spread about how popular they were, kings and queens asked Captain Oliver to share his knowledge and experience at their courts. He became a trusted advisor to kings and a supporter of keeping peace around the world. His impact went far beyond the coast, and he used it to bring people together and help them understand each other.

The ancient oaks of one of England's major forests had just about seen it all - wars, droughts, fires, floods, you name it, they've survived it. But how would they cope with a maverick golf club skipper, one Captain Mashie Niblick, intent on demolishing old dogmas and bringing in his New Model Army to put matters to rights? As it happened, the New Model Army turned out to be an Old Model Army, the bow and arrow brigade of one Robin the Hoodie who was keen on extending his domain from Sherwood to the back of beyond. In an age of mobile telephony and electronic tablets, the Outlaw was proven to be out of his depth. Niblick was not. As last man standing in the captaincy stakes Mashie Niblick strode purposefully up to the plate when duty called. Eventually he fell off it. Yet he could count himself one of the heroes of the age because, surely in the 123-year history of the golf club, there was no captain as lousy at golf as was Niblick. Here is a true tale of a loser. It is a story like no other. Niblick survived and the forest survived by gobbling up the Captain's golf balls by the dozen. This is golfing life in the English countryside and on the links of the Costa del Sol. It tells what it is like to be a leader of men and a bleeder of golfing hearts. Mashie Niblick is unique. We shall not see his like again in the captaincy stakes, so sit up and join him on his incredible journey.
