Admiral of the Ocean Sea: A Life of Christopher Columbus
Telling the story of the greatest sailor of them all, "Admiral of the Ocean Sea" is a vivid and definitive biography of Columbus that details all of his voyages that, for better or worse, changed the world.
Not content merely to offer a dry recitation of the events & facts of Columbus' life, Samuel Eliot Morison decided to embark on the bold adventure of navigating the sea in Columbus' route, as far as it could be reconstructed. With the support of a number of enthusiastic colleagues, he organized the Harvard Columbus Expedition & began to map out his course. Every effort was made to duplicate the atmosphere & conditions encountered by Columbus, from the ships themselves to the methods of navigation. In the late summer of l939, almost 450 years after Columbus's own historic voyages, Morison & crew set sail. The result was this Pulitzer Prize-winning account of Christopher Columbus the man, the sailor, the father of the modern New World. You will have the opportunity to see as he did. Columbus' journeys unfold before you with a trenchant commentary & vividness only made possible by the experience of a man who has traveled the same path. Historic observations involving weather patterns, birds & sea life, as well as the various lands & people that Columbus encountered, are examined with a great depth of feeling.
This book Presents Columbus in a realistic and non-idealised manner. It logically disputes theories that have been used to disparage Columbus, yet honestly portrays his treatment of the native Americans he encountered. Having spent 2 years travelling the sea routes that Columbus pioneered you get a sense of the adventure, excitement and boredom that Columbus and his men must of felt. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
