Description: Marryat's nonstop action and wry wit combine to create an immensely entertaining blend of sea story and farce. "The Privateersman" recounts the compelling adventures of a privateer, Alexander Musgrave. This exciting book is the last sea story written by Marryat.
Review Quotes: Marryat has the power to set us in the midst of ships and men and sea and sky, all vivid, credible, authentic.--Virginia Woolf
