White-Jacket

White-Jacket

Description of the book

A novel, but widely believed to be semi-autobiographical; this book describes in great detail Melville's experiences during 14 months of being in the American Navy. White Jacket is the narrator of the story and we never discover his name. During the voyage, Melville travels from the Pacific around Cape Horn and back to New England.
