Summary "The Missing Merchantman" by Harry Collingwood is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Edward Damerell, a young midshipman-apprentice who is passionately committed to his profession at sea. As the crew of the merchant ship "Flying Cloud" embarks on a voyage, they become embroiled in a conflict regarding wages, which escalates toward piracy. The narrative promises adventure on the high seas, focusing on themes of duty, ambition, and resourcefulness as the characters navigate their challenges. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to a picturesque day in Weymouth, where Edward Damerell is preparing to leave for London to join his new ship. We gain insight into his close familial relationships, particularly with his father, a retired naval officer, and his sister, Eva. After arriving at the London Docks, Edward eagerly examines the "Flying Cloud", a state-of-the-art vessel. Tension begins to brew among the ship's crew regarding the compensation of the officers compared to the deckhands, setting the stage for the conflict that will unfold as the journey progresses. The opening chapters establish a strong sense of maritime life, character development, and foreshadowing of the adventures and conflicts to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
