Richard Henry Dana dropped out of school and became an ordinary deckhand on the brig Pilgrim. The perilous journey from Boston, begun in 1834, took the ailing yet determined youth past Cape Horn and around the Americas, concluding in the Mexican territory California. This expedition inspired Two Years before the Mast, a first-hand account of "the life of a common sailor" a work that combines history, philosophy, and personal experience.

Dana, Richard Henry: - Richard Henry Dana, Jr. (1815-1882) was an American lawyer, author, and reformer. After his voyage as a common sailor, he returned to Harvard and later practiced maritime law, often defending the rights of seamen. His experiences at sea informed Two Years Before the Mast, which became one of the most important American maritime narratives of the nineteenth century.
