William Clark Russell was een populaire Amerikaanse schrijver, bekend om zijn zeevaartromans en griezelverhalen. Zijn achtjarige diensttijd als zeeman leverde hem uitgebreide ervaring op, die hij vervolgens in zijn productieve literaire werk verwerkte. Zijn werken, waarvan sommige in hun tijd aanzienlijke populariteit genoten, beelden levendig avontuur en heldendom op zee uit. Moderne critici merken overeenkomsten op tussen zijn horrorthema's en de verhalen van William Hope Hodgson.






In this book, Russell presents a collection of rhymes recited by various sailors during their voyages. It is a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of seafarers during the time period.
