Nathaniel B. Palmer: Nineteenth Century Master Mariner offers a new look at one of the most important maritime figures of the nineteenth century. Palmer grew up on the waterfront in the coastal New England town of Stonington and was part of the early sealing expeditions to the southern hemisphere. On only his second sealing voyage, Palmer captained the Hero and was credited with the discovery of Antarctica for 150 years. Ever the entrepreneur, Palmer moved on to the newest innovations and designed and captained Clipper ships in the China Trade. One of the most respected and accomplished of blue water mariners, Palmer's career changed the world and by closing the distances between the shores of Europe, America, and Asia, he helped create the global economy. Martin incorporates newly discovered family correspondence to illustrate the nuances of this complex man while celebrating his impact on the world. This book will appeal to social historians, students of sailing, economics, and technology.
