Illustrated by
Emily Arnold McCully.
Ellen Prentiss learned navigation on her father's trading schooner. When she and her husband took command of a new clipper ship, heading from New York to the California Gold Rush, Ellen smashed the record for shortest voyage around Cape Horn. Fern's nautically infused text rolls with the waves, while McCully's ink and watercolor illustrations reflect the resplendent blues and greens of vast oceans. Glos.
