Summary "Seefahrt ist not!" by Gorch Fock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the lives of fishermen and their families, capturing the struggles and joys of seafaring life, particularly focusing on the character Klaus Mewes and his son, Klaus Störtebeker. Themes of courage, community, and the relationship between land and sea are explored as the narrative unfolds in a coastal village setting. The opening portion introduces readers to a church service in a fishing community, emphasizing the dangers faced by those who make their living on the sea. Pastor Bodemann prays deeply for the safety of the fishermen and their vessels, reflecting the somber reality faced by the congregation—many have lost loved ones to the ocean. Among the parishioners is Klaus Mewes, a comical and optimistic character who dreams of instilling a love for the sea in his son, who is affectionately nicknamed Störtebeker. The tension between the excitement of fishing life and the fears of the women left behind, particularly Klaus's wife Gesa, is also introduced, setting the stage for the conflicts and emotional depth that will likely permeate the story.
