Sea Captains Wife
When her husband falls gravely ill and a mutinous first mate threatens their voyage, a nineteen-year-old woman assumes command of a clipper ship in the perilous waters off Antarctica. In 1856, Mary Ann Patten, a New Englander from a seafaring family, must navigate not only treacherous storms and icy seas but also a potentially rebellious crew. This astonishing true account, brought to life by meticulous research and the author's own journey to the Southern Ocean, reveals the courage and resilience of a forgotten heroine who defied expectations to save her ship and her dreams.
