Anne Atherton Starrett Craig recalls the years she spent aboard sailing vessels commanded by her father, Captain Henry Atherton Starrett. Her memoir describes a childhood shaped by long voyages, family life at sea and the changing demands of shipboard routine.
Accounts of ports, journeys around Cape Horn and experiences aboard different vessels connect personal recollection with the maritime world of the nineteenth century. The memoir was presented in 1961 in connection with the Farnsworth Museum’s Starrett collection. This complete illustrated booklet retains its photographs, drawings and the design and decoration credited to Vera Bock.
