| Summary | "In the Sargasso Sea" by Thomas A. Janvier is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Roger Stetworth, a young mechanical engineer who embarks on a precarious voyage from New York to the West African coast aboard the brig "Golden Hind". Stetworth's ambitions and naiveté lead him into a world filled with danger, murky trade practices, and moral dilemmas surrounding the slave trade as he navigates his new environment. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Roger Stetworth as he arranges his passage to Loango with Captain Luke Chilton. Initially, he is excited about his journey and stores away skepticism about the captain’s true character. However, his doubts begin to creep in when he witnesses the ship poorly laden with questionable cargo, and learns about the prevalence of slavery in the West African trade. As he grapples with moral complexities and the dynamics of ship life, his situation takes a dark turn following a violent confrontation with the crew that leaves him shipwrecked. The opening chapters establish Stetworth's character, his naive enthusiasm for adventure, and the harrowing circumstances that will soon envelop him amidst the ominous backdrop of the Sargasso Sea.
