Summary "At the Back of the World: Wanderings over Many Lands and Seas" by George and Jennie Pugh is a memoir likely written in the early 20th century. The account chronicles the maritime adventures of the author, who, fascinated by the sea from a young age, embarks on a journey filled with exploration, camaraderie, and personal growth as he encounters different cultures and challenges along the oceans. The narrative is likely enriched with vivid descriptions of various locations and the lessons learned throughout his travels. The opening of the work introduces us to a young boy from Liverpool who dreams of becoming a sailor, captivated by the stories shared by sailors at the docks. The narrative unfolds as he recalls how, after a series of incidents, his mother sends him to sea at the age of fourteen, paving the way for a life of adventure. We follow him as he secures a position aboard a ship, the "Bertie," and begins his apprenticeship as an ordinary seaman, learning the ropes under the guidance of his mentors and forming friendships with his crewmates while eager to embrace the challenges of life at sea.
