Free delivery available · Amazon buyer protection
An extraordinary account of a childhood unlike any other. Born in 1902 in the middle of the ocean aboard a lumber schooner captained by her father, Burgess Cogill's early years were spent roaming the seas from the Northwest to Peru.
This remarkable memoir recalls a life lived on the waves, filled with vivid anecdotes about sharks, dramatic girl-overboard moments, and fistfights on the quarterdeck—a fascinating glimpse into a vanished world of maritime adventure and a truly unique upbringing.
