When the Captain has a Bit too Much to Drink ...

This story gives new meaning to the term "high seas" when a drunk ship's captain orders the crew to put up too much sail.  This episode also includes short book reviews on INTO THE RAGING SEA, the true story behind the sinking of the cargo ship El Faro by Rachel Slade, and BEACON 23 a sci-fi sea story by Hugh Howey. 




This story is from Ocean Adventures by John Sherburne Sleeper, published in Boston, Mass. in 1857.  For over a dozen more episodes go to the Sea Stories and Science Fiction Podcast.
