MARSHALL THE MARINER

From the humble position of a cabin boy on a smuggler in 1802, young Marshall’s life as a mariner led to privateering, a little piracy and then whaling. He survived dozens of sea battles from the Spanish Main to Asia and the Spice Isles to a haven in the settlement of New South Wales.

Whaling in the Coral and Tasman Seas earned him a living and Captaincy of his own vessel. A failed love affair drove him back to South America and into the hands of the USS Essex an American raider during the war between Britain and the USA..

A stirring tale of life at sea during the early Nineteenth Century full of suspenseful adventure and romance.
