This sea-drenched book, based on contemporary documents and its protagonist's forgotten memoirs, is the biography of one of America's most remarkable sailors, Captain Edgar (Ned) Wakeman, who in 1850 kidnapped a luxurious Hudson River paddlewheel steamer, the glass-plated and gilded New World, and sailed her from New York around the Horn to San Francisco, battling storms, ice, yellow-fever, and machinery never intended for the high seas.
