Summary "At Sunwich Port, Complete" by W. W. Jacobs is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the quaint coastal town of Sunwich, where the lives of several characters, including the disgruntled Captain Nugent and his loyal steward Mr. Wilks, unfold amidst a backdrop of maritime intrigue and interpersonal drama. The narrative explores themes of pride, community, and the oftentimes humorous nature of human relationships. At the start of the narrative, we meet Captain Nugent, who is returning home from a frustrating inquiry regarding a collision involving his ship, the Conqueror. He is accompanied by his steward, Mr. Wilks, who provides comic relief through his ineptitude and servitude. As the captain wrestles with his anger and disgruntlement over the incident that has led to his six-month suspension, we also see glimpses of his family's dynamics, particularly with his widowed sister, Mrs. Kingdom. The opening sets the stage for the unfolding interactions among the town's inhabitants, hinting at comedic and serious undertones as Captain Nugent navigates both his professional life and familial ties.
