White-jacket, or, The world in a man-of-war / Herman Melville - New York : Quality Paperback Book Club , 1996, c1850 - 504 p. ; 21 cm.
Herman Melville drew upon his own experiences serving on a U.S. Navy frigate in writing it. Yet while it is true that the book can be read as an involving account of life aboards the U.S.S. Neversink and the adventures that befall its officers and crew, there is something more here than a hearty tale of the sea.
