Attachment 42256This is the original version of this American sailing classic. It seems worthwhile making this available, if only because it has a concluding chapter in which the author sets down thoughts and reflections on his voyage. In later versions, he deleted this chapter.
This version also includes the chapter "24 Years Later."
In the original version, Dana referred to some of his shipmates and others only by the first initial of their last name, but identified them in subsequent versions. I've spelled out the names in this ebook version.
Italics have been added using a printed copy of the book as a source.
