About the book

Rudyard Kipling's Captains Courageous follows Harvey Cheyne, the spoiled son of a wealthy American businessman, who is swept overboard from a luxury liner and rescued by a fishing vessel. Unable to return home immediately, Harvey is forced to work alongside the crew and gradually learns discipline, responsibility and respect for hard physical labour. Kipling combines sea adventure with a coming-of-age story, creating a vivid portrait of life aboard a nineteenth-century fishing schooner.
