摘要

This is a fascinating account of the (remarkably long) life of the Watchet-born seafarer John Short, also known by his nickname of ‘Yankee Jack’. In many ways, there was nothing particularly unusual about his life, in that it followed a pattern of going to sea followed by thousands of young men born and brought up in coastal communities around the UK during the nineteenth century. Tom Brown has done an excellent job of tracing Short’s seafaring career, bearing in mind that his discharge certificates are long since lost. He has instead had to work his way back through crew lists held by a long list of repositories to provide us with a comprehensive account of a life at sea which commenced on board the local schooner Friends (of which his father was master) in 1853.
