| Summary | "The Green Hand: Adventures of a Naval Lieutenant" by George Cupples is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the experiences of young Ned Collins, a nascent sailor, as he embarks on his maritime journey aboard an Indiaman ship, encountering various challenges and colorful characters. The narrative promises a blend of adventure, humor, and insights into naval life during a time when the sea was still a realm of mystery and excitement. The opening of the novel introduces us to a lively scene on the deck of the Indiaman "Gloucester", where shipmates gather to listen to tales spun by the old sailor, Old Jack. As he begins recounting the story of young Ned Collins—the titular 'Green Hand'—the narrative unfolds amid the camaraderie of sailors who tease and share stories between their duties. Old Jack's evocative depiction of the past reveals not only the humorous misadventures of Collins as he transitions into a true sailor but also highlights the unique, rugged charm of life at sea, marked by the voices and experiences of the old salts who have weathered many storms. The stage is set for a rich exploration of naval adventures and the growth of Collins into seasoned maritime character. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
