  • Masterman Ready (Book Twelve of the Marryat Cycle)
    Frederick Marryat
    If you seek to understand nautical fiction, you must begin with Frederick Marryat. 'Forster was certainly correct in declaring [Masterman Ready] the most read, and the most willingly reread, of its class. For its mere cleverness alone the book can be enjoyed by the oldest of readers... [It] is one of the best, perhaps the very best, thing of its kind in English.' - David Han...

  • Snarleyyow (Book Nine of the Marryat Cycle)
    Frederick Marryat
    From the Father of Modern Nautical Fiction 'If Mr. MIdshipman Easy is today his best known story, the one which followed it, Snarleyyow, is in a purely literary sense the real masterpiece of his literary output, in which his skill in characterization and construction, coupled with his sense of the truly dramatic reached its peak.' - The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea ...

  • The Phantom Ship (Book Ten of the Marryat Cycle)
    Frederick Marryat
    From the Father of Modern Nautical Fiction The legend of the Flying Dutchman goes back at least to medieval times, and probably earlier than that. In its basic form, it is about a ghost ship that can never go into port, and is doomed to sail the oceans forever. Indeed, in Marryat's day, one would be hard pressed to find a ship on which at least one crewman had not personall...

    Frederick Marryat
    From the Father of Modern Nautical Fiction The Pirate and The Three Cutters were produced in 1836, and are almost always published together.

The Pirate is about two brothers-twins-wh...

  • Jacob Faithful (Book Six of the Marryat Cycle)
    Frederick Marryat
    From the Father of Modern Nautical Fiction One of the great things about the writings of Frederick Marryat is that he introduces you to all aspects of early 19th Century nautical life.

  • Mr. Midshipman Easy (Book Seven of the Marryat Cycle)
    Frederick Marryat
    From the Father of Modern Nautical Fiction Mr. Midshipman Easy is probably Frederick Marryat's best known work, and justifiably so. It's a delightful story. Jack Easy is a boy who comes from wealth. Along the way, his father, who regards himself as something of a philosopher, imbues him with the notion that all men are utterly and completely equal. That is a notion, howe...

  • Newton Forster (Book Four of the Marryat Cycle)
    Frederick Marryat
    From the Father of Modern Nautical Fiction Newton Forster first appeared in 1832 as a series in Metropolitan Magazine, a periodical of which Frederick Marryat was the editor, and which initially hosted several of his works. It is remarkable in that it deals largely with the merchant navy, as opposed to the military. This makes it a refreshing departure from most of the boo...

    Frederick Marryat
    I am about to write a very curious history, as the reader will agree with me when he has read this book. We have more than one narrative of people being cast away upon desolate islands, and being left to their own resources, and no works are perhaps read with more interest; but I believe I am the first instance of a boy being left alone upon an uninhabited island. Such was, how...

  • Frank Mildmay (Book Two of the Marryat Cycle)
    Frederick Marryat
    It can be argued that modern nautical fiction began with this book—the first that flowed from Frederick Marryat’s pen. Written in 1829, it follows the adventures of Frank Mildmay as he enters the Royal Navy and begins his rocky climb up the career ladder. Marryat intentionally made Mildmay a rake and a hell-raiser so that people would not confuse the character’s fictional adv...
