Fine. The book offers new material and the author investigates such topics as women in the American whaling industry and the role of the captain's wife aboard ship. There are also "transvestite heroines" who dressed as men to serve on the crews of sailling ships. And, they explore the importance of gender and its connection to race for African American and other seamen in both the American and the British merchant marine. Edited by Margaret S. Creighton and Lisa Norling.
