These nine essays explore new directions and ways to pursue the elusive "Jack Tar"--the common sailor in the early modern world. We see him as a pirate, learn something of the ships he sailed, and share his experience in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. We also see him as a spinner of yarns--a great story teller--helping to mold his own and our national identity, while contributing to the development of a unique American literature.
