Description: Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana is a firsthand account of the author’s two-year voyage as a common sailor on a merchant ship in the early 19th century. Written after his journey from Boston to California and back, the memoir offers vivid descriptions of life at sea, the hardships endured by sailors, and the working conditions aboard the ship. Dana critiques the brutal treatment of the crew by officers and provides a unique perspective on the coastal trade and daily struggles in the undeveloped California of that era. His narrative highlights the contrast between the rough life at sea and the social and economic issues faced by seafarers.
