Produktinformationen "Captain Mugford"
«Captain Mugford» by W.H.G. Kingston is a classic Victorian nautical adventure that follows a group of boys under the tutelage of the eccentric yet wise seaman Captain Mugford. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Cornish coast, the story begins when the boys are sent to spend a summer at a remote cape, where a shipwrecked brig becomes their classroom for seafaring education and life lessons. The novel masterfully blends coming of age themes with thrilling maritime exploits. The boys learn navigation, knot tying, and boat handling from the captain a former sailor with a bulldog's tenacity and a philosopher's wisdom. Their adventures escalate when they take command of their own boat, the Youth, facing real dangers that test their courage and camaraderie. Kingston's vivid descriptions of coastal landscapes and storm tossed seas immerse readers in the shipwreck survival atmosphere, while the captain's colorful anecdotes about his naval career add historical depth. More than just an adventure tale, the book explores moral growth through challenges like rescuing a drowning sailor and reconciling youthful impulsiveness with responsibility. The wrecked brig Clear the Track serves as a poignant symbol of resilience, transformed by the captain into both home and teaching tool. For lovers of Victorian maritime fiction, this work offers authentic period detail about 19th century sailing life. Parents and educators will appreciate its emphasis on practical skills and ethical development, while the boys' adventure elements keep the pace brisk and engaging.
