Calico Jack Falls Overboard in a Squall

The worst possible thing that can ever happen to a sailor happens to Calico Jack.  He falls over the side and is lost at sea.  What happens next is quite possibly one of the best sea stories ever told. 




This story is from Ocean Adventures by John Sherburne Sleeper, published in Boston, Mass. in 1857.  For dozens of sea stories and science fiction tales, go to Sea Stories and Science Fiction Podcast.
