註釋'Captain Abby and Captain John: An Around-the-world Biography' is an enthralling biography crafted by esteemed author Robert Peter Tristram Coffin, recipient of the prestigious Pulitzer Prize. Unfolding against the backdrop of the 19th-century wooden shipping era, this captivating narrative reveals the extraordinary escapades of Captain Abby and Captain John, a fearless husband and wife duo who co-commanded a majestic tall ship. Hailing from the renowned Pennell shipbuilding dynasty of Brunswick, Maine, their journey traverses the world's vast oceans, brimming with genuine turmoil and raw emotions. Drawing from a treasure trove of authentic diaries, letters, and papers generously shared by their son, John Frederick Pennell, Coffin paints an intimate portrait of these intrepid seafarers and their indomitable spirit.
