"There She Blows! Or, The Log of the Arethusa" by William Hussey Macy is a nautical adventure narrative written in the late 19th century. This book presents a series of illustrated sketches based on real events from the author’s own experiences at sea, particularly in the whaling industry. The narrative introduces readers to the life of a young man who, eager for adventure and influenced by his study of seafaring tales, embarks on a whaling voyage aboard the Arethusa. At the start of the journey, the protagonist, a fresh-faced youth of eighteen, arrives in New York City and makes the decision to join a whaling expedition. He encounters a shipping agent, Mr. Ramsay, who presents the exhilarating life of a whaleman filled with potential adventure and financial reward. Upon boarding the Lydia Ann, the ship that will take him to Nantucket, he meets a colorful crew of fellow aspiring sailors, each with their own backgrounds and motivations. The opening chapters set the stage for the subsequent journey, shedding light on the initial excitement and challenges of life at sea, including youthful naivete, sea sickness, and the camaraderie among the crew as they prepare to set sail on their whaling adventure.
