Sobre IBD

This text contains Samuel Leech’s fascinating account of his nautical adventures. ’Thirty Years From Home, Or, A Voide From the Main Deck’ provides an intriguing insight into life in a man of war - recounted as it appears to the sailor on board. Leech made it his duty to ’state facts as they were when I was a sailor’, with an object of giving as true a picture as possible, of everyday occurrences in naval service. This is a unique book, now incredibly scarce, providing a valuable contribution to the historical narrative - of both the British and American navies, as well as providing a rare account of the capture of the Macedonian by the United States in 1812. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly hard to come by, and it is with this in mid that we are republishing this volume in an affordable, modern addition. It now comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
