Vol. 3 - The Three Commanders

ByW. H. G. Kingston

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
This is book three of the series. The tale takes place around the world. It is a very good introduction to Naval life in the middle of the nineteenth century. The action soon after the start moves to East Africa, where we see how the anti-slave trade was pursued. The British were against slavery, but the Portuguese, the Americans, the Arabs, and some of the East African states were getting on with it whenever the British backs were turned. Then it's on to the Crimea, where we get a very good view of the naval participation in that war. Finally we move to the Pacific, to Sydney and to Hawaii. Here again it is interesting, particularly with regard to the volcanoes of the Hawaii group of islands.
