Northwest by Sea

By Ernest Stanley Dodge

Book Overview

Northwest By Sea is a non-fiction book written by Ernest Stanley Dodge that chronicles his experiences as a sailor in the Pacific Northwest during the early 20th century. The book is divided into three parts, each detailing a different voyage. The first part follows Dodge's journey on a steamship from San Francisco to Alaska, where he works as a deckhand and explores the rugged coastline. The second part recounts his time on a fishing schooner, where he learns the art of commercial fishing and encounters a variety of sea creatures. The final part of the book describes Dodge's return to Alaska as a captain of his own vessel, where he navigates treacherous waters and battles harsh weather conditions. Throughout the book, Dodge provides vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, as well as the challenges and dangers faced by those who make their living at sea.
