The Cradle of the Deep

About this book

First published in 1929, public domain. A rip-roaring, sensational memoir of a young girl growing up on a schooner with her hearty sea captain father and a crew of salty sailors and the incredible and death-defying adventures she had traveling the world. Except... none of it was true! But still very realistic and believable and a uniquely amazing adventure story read!
