Richard Henry Dana, Jr. Quote

There is not so helpless and pitiable an object in the world as a landsman beginning a sailor's life.


Two Years Before the Mast, 1840


There is not so helpless and pitiable an object in the world as a landsman beginning a sailor's life.

There is not so helpless and pitiable an object in the world as a landsman beginning a sailor's life.

There is not so helpless and pitiable an object in the world as a landsman beginning a sailor's life.

There is not so helpless and pitiable an object in the world as a landsman beginning a sailor's life.
