| Summary | "Master Rockafellar's Voyage" by W. Clark Russell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Thomas "Tommy" Rockafellar who desires to become a sailor and is eventually sent on his first sea voyage aboard the merchant ship "Lady Violet". Through his journey, the novel explores themes of adventure, self-discovery, and the trials of maritime life as Tommy adjusts to life at sea and the challenges he faces. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Tommy Rockafellar, whose strong desire to go to sea is met with some resistance from his parents, particularly his mother, who finds the Merchant Service too vulgar for their esteemed family name. After much discussion, it is agreed that a single voyage could be beneficial for Tommy. The initial chapters detail his preparation, the excitement and apprehension of setting out from Gravesend, his experiences onboard the ship, the colorful crew, and the bustling activity at sea. As Tommy begins to adapt to his new environment, he faces the realities of ship life, including the confusion and camaraderie among the midshipmen and the various challenges of sailing, setting the stage for deeper experiences to come.
