OverviewIn the middle of August, 1851, young Enoch Carter Cloud, of land-locked Columbus, Ohio, cast his fate literally to the winds and signed up to sail out of New Bedford on the whale ship 'The Henry Kneeland'. For nearly 3 years he kept a journal detailing the glory, hardships, and dangers of life at sea. The journey took Cloud around the world -- from New England to Portugal, around Africa, to New Zealand and across the Pacific. Encounters with native peoples, mutinous crew members, and the elements are depicted in the peculiarly colourful and detailed language of the time.
