About This Book

A family party of girls and their companions undertake a lengthy steamship voyage that interleaves shipboard routines, social gatherings, and games with vivid observations of the crew and vessel life. The narrative moves between passages at sea, stormy weather and a dramatic wreck account, and visits ashore to varied ports and landmarks, while friendships, small conflicts, and moments of danger prompt personal growth and practical lessons amid the changing landscapes of travel.
