About Two Years Before The Mast Two Years Before the Mast is a memoir by the American author Richard Henry Dana, Jr., published in 1840, having been written after a two-year sea voyage starting in 1834. A film adaptation under the same name was released in 1946. The term "before the mast" refers to the quarters of the common sailors — in the forecastle, in the front of the ship. His writing evidences his later sympathy with the lower classes; he later became a prominent anti-slavery activist and helped found the Free Soil Party. Dana did not set out to write Two Years Before the Mast as a sea adventure, but to highlight how poorly common sailors were treated on ships. It quickly became a best seller.

Mr. Dana's volume has received the highest commendation of the press both of the United States and England, as well for its graphic and interesting pictures of travel, as for the useful and valuable information embodied on its pages, upon the social, commercial, and political condition and prospects of Cuba. "This will be found a sprightly little book, the substance of which was gleaned during a short vacation trip in one of our swift-sailing steamers to Havana and back....He has a little to say on almost everything, from a breakfast party, and the process of manufacturing sugar on a Cuban plantation, to that prince of all amusements among the Creoles, a bull fight. Of the political features of the country, as well as its political condition, he also treats at some length....Decidedly astute." -Hunt's Merchants' Magazine and Commercial Review "Mr. Dana...seems by no means desirous that the island should be annexed to the United States. Cuba, he says, 'has been called the key to the Gulf of Mexico. But the Gulf of Mexico cannot be locked. Whoever takes her is more likely to find in her a key to Pandora's box.'" -The Spectator CONTENTS I. —From Manhattan to El Morro II. —Havana: First Glimpses (1) III. —Havana: First Glimpses (2) IV. —Havana: Prisoners and Priests V. —Havana: Olla Podrida VI. —Havana: A Social Sunday VII. —Havana: Belén and the Jesuits VIII. —Matanzas IX. —To Limonar by Train X. —A Sugar Plantation: The Labor XI. —A Sugar Plantation: The Life XII. —From Plantation to Plantation XIII. —Matanzas and Environs XIV. —Reflections via Railroad XV. —Havana: Social, Religious and Judicial Tidbits XVI. —Havana: Worship, Etiquette and Humanitarianism XVII. —Havana: Hospital and Prison XVIII. —Havana: Bullfight XIX. —Havana: More Manners and Customs XX. —Havana: Slaves, Lotteries, Cockfights and Filibusters XXI. —A Summing-up: Society, Politics, Religion, Slavery, Resources and Reflections XXII. —Leave-taking

Two Years Before the Mast is a memoir by the American author Richard Henry Dana Jr., published in 1840, having been written after a two-year sea voyage from Boston to California on a merchant ship starting in 1834. In the book, which takes place between 1834 and 1836, Dana gives a vivid account of "the life of a common sailor at sea as it really is". He sails from Boston to South America and around Cape Horn to California. Dana's ship was on a voyage to trade goods from the United States for the Mexican colonial Californian California missions' and ranchos' cow hides. They traded at the ports in San Diego Bay, San Pedro Bay, Santa Barbara Channel, Monterey Bay, and San Francisco Bay. A film adaptation under the same name was released in 1946. Richard Henry Dana, Jr. (1815-1882) was an American lawyer and politician who gained renown as the author of the American classic Two Years Before the Mast, a memoir of his time spent at sea as a merchant seaman.

While attending Harvard as a young man, Richard Dana's eyesight became weak and his health declined. He decided that the austere prescription of salt air and plain hard work would be the cure. Not many would give up comfort and privilege, but for two years, Dana served as a common sailor, given no special treatment as the gentleman he was, and lived in the forecastle of the Alert, eating the mess of salt beef and common hardtack, risking his life and serving under a captain crueler than most. Dana was able to write in such a way as to re-create the life on board a sailing ship, down to the smallest details and that's what makes this book so real and touching. You can feel the cold of Tierra del Fuego, taste the salt beef, and feel the wind and damp. What's more amazing is that Dana's carefully-kept journal was lost along with his other mementos of his voyage when he landed back on shore in Boston, due to some tragic carelessness of someone he entrusted with his chest of belongings. Yet he was able to recreate his voyage in vivid detail and in some very excellent writing. Dana's later life as a lawyer was far from happy, though he made some critical contributions to maritime law. He died a poor and disappointed man, but left us the richer with his book.

Born into a comfortable and affluent New England family, Richard Henry Dana (who once studied under the great Ralph Waldo Emerson) disconcertingly took to the high seas in 1834 as a common sailor, an experience that would color his classic memoir Two Years Before the Mast. Despite his failing vision thanks to a childhood illness, Dana served onboard a merchant vessel, traveling from Massachusetts southward, with stops along South America and in California. A fascinating read for maritime enthusiasts or lovers of history, Dana's Before the Mast is a vigorous account of a life at sea in the 19th century.
