Kapitein Frederick Marryat was een officier van de Britse Royal Navy en romanschrijver, erkend als een vroege pionier van het zeeverhaal. Zijn werken legden meesterlijk de avonturen en uitdagingen van het leven op zee vast en legden zo de basis voor het genre van maritieme fictie. Marryats schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door zijn authenticiteit en levendige weergaven van het maritieme leven. Zijn literaire nalatenschap ligt in zijn vermogen om lezers mee te nemen naar werelden vol gevaar, moed en constante beweging.
