"The fall of 1856 was one of the worst seasons that sailors off the coast of Cape Horn had ever seen. The clipper ship Neptune's Car, a trading vessel from New York, had battled huge waves and gale-force winds for weeks. Desperate to save his men and cargo from the violent storm, Captain Joshua Patten spent eight sleepless days and nights on deck. On the ninth day at the helm, he collapsed with a raging fever, and his crew panicked. As freezing rain and wind howled through the rigging and death seemed imminent, just one person on board stepped forward to take control of the ship: Captain Patten's nineteen-year-old wife, Mary, then five months' pregnant with their first child. When the ship safely reached its destination of San Franciso that November, Mary Patten was hailed as a national heroine.". "What was a young woman doing on board a clipper ship in 1856? And how could she have been skilled enough to navigate a 216-foot vessel through a storm? Maritime history is rich with tales of male adventurers, sailors, captains, and pirates. In fact, we think of the high seas as an all-male world. But what about women? Were wives and daughters left ashore, relegated to a landlubber's existence?". "To answer these questions, maritime scholar David Cordingly has written an inspired, illuminating, and highly readable book that reveals the vibrant history of women and the sea. Drawing on years of research into the journals, ship's logs, and diaries of extraordinary women like Mary Patten, Cordingly has resurrected the incredible stories of a forgotten population. He re-creates a time when captain's wives shared Christmas dinners in Tahitian harbors, and when one Hannah Snell served aboard a British naval ship for four years without revealing her identity as a woman."--BOOK JACKET.
