Summary: "My Life at Sea" by William Caius Crutchley is an autobiographical narrative written in the early 20th century. This memoir recounts the author's adventurous life as a seaman during the significant transition from sail-powered ships to steam navigation in the British mercantile marine from 1863 to 1894. Crutchley shares personal stories, reflections on the culture of naval life, and experiences sailing various types of ships, capturing the spirit of maritime exploration and the challenges faced by sailors of his time. The opening of this memoir introduces us to Crutchley’s childhood ambitions and the events that led him to a life at sea. The narrative begins with the arrival of the vessel "Figaro" in Margate, which sparked Crutchley's desire to pursue a maritime career. He describes his initial reluctance from his family to support his aspirations but highlights key figures like Mr. Trapp, a shipowner who became influential in his journey. The chapter reflects on his early education, the discipline of maritime life, the connections made in the bustling ports, and the colorful characters encountered, setting the stage for a rich tapestry of sea adventures and life lessons in the chapters to follow.
