The book describes the life of sailors and officers on board the USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, during her cruise in the Pacific in 1841. The author, who was a midshipman on board the ship, provides a detailed account of the daily routines, the challenges faced by the crew, and the interactions between the sailors and officers. The book also includes descriptions of the places visited by the ship during its voyage, such as Rio de Janeiro, Valparaiso, and the Galapagos Islands. The author also provides insights into the naval tactics and strategies used during the period, as well as the social and cultural norms of the time. Overall, Life In A Man Of War is a fascinating account of life on board a naval vessel during the mid-19th century, and provides a unique perspective on the history of the United States Navy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
