	Frederick Marryat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marryat was born in London, the son of Joseph Marryat, a "merchant prince" and member of Parliament.
		Marryat's time aboard the Imperieuse included action off the Gironde, the rescue of a fellow midshipman who had fallen overboard, captures of many ships off the Mediterranean coast of Spain, and the capture of the castle of Mongat.
		Marryat's novels are characteristic of their time, with the concerns of family connections and social status often overshadowing the naval action, but they are interesting as fictional renditions of the author's 25 years of real-life experience at sea.

	FREDERICK MARRYAT - LoveToKnow Article on FREDERICK MARRYAT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		He was the grandson of Thomas Marryat (physician, author of The Philosophy of Masons, and writer of verse), and son of Joseph Marryat, agent for the island of Grenada, who wrote pamphlets in defence of the Slave Trade.
		Young Marryat distinguished himself as a boy by frequently running away to go to sea; and at last, at the age of fourteen, he was allowed to enter the navy.
		Marryats first attempt was somewhat severely criticized from an artistic point of view, and he was accused of gratifying private grudges by introducing real personages too thinly disguised; and as he attributed some of his own adventures to Frank Mildmay he was rather shocked to learn that readers identified him with that disagreeable character.

		The fact that, from 1806 to 1830, Marryat served actively and ably in the navy did not prevent him from being a novelist of very near the first rank.
		Within his narrower limits, captain Marryat, at his best, is a choicer artist than Defoe, whom, in many points, he resembles—among others, in having had his finest work regarded, for a time, as merely reading “for boys.” From that implied reproach, Marryat’s best novels, like Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, have, ultimately, escaped.
		In Marryat, there are touches here and there of the lower humour of Smollett, but these occur almost entirely in his early work, written before he had learned his business as novelist.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Phantom Ship
		Marryat married Catherine Shairp in 1819 and together they had four sons and seven daughters, including the novelist Florence Marryat.
		Compared to Marryat's other nautical works, where a great deal of good humour is apparent, The Phantom Ship shows graphically the toll of greed, religious/cultural intolerance, human brutality, in short of man's inhumanity to man. Unlike many of his other novels, The Phantom Ship does not have a happy ending.
		Marryat's writing, similar to that of his contemporary Philip Meadows Taylor (Confessions of a Thug, 1839) almost completely avoids the convoluted and adjective-laden prose of the Gothic novel, opting instead for a simply written straightforward adventure narrative, which once it gets going doesn't let up.

	Captain Marryat Homepage and Biography on Bibliomania.com
		Captain Frederick Marryat was a serviceman as his title implies - a naval captain indeed, who took to writing stories chiefly about the sea in the late 1820s with the novel The Naval Officer: or Scenes and Adventures in the Life of Frank Mildmay (1829).
		The book's success allowed Marryat to resign his commission the year after its publication, although presumably to make the reality of his naval vision more complete he kept his title on his books.
		Marryat, evidently searching within his soul for subject matter based elsewhere but the waves, improbably decided to write a book about an indestructible dog called Snarleyyow, in 1837.

	Shiver my timbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The phrase is first used in Jacob Faithful by Frederick Marryat in 1834.
		After an argument over grog, Tom's father has his wooden leg trapped between some bricks and is unable to move.
		Marryat and Stevenson both wrote grammatically correct Victorian fiction, even when their characters were pirates, and so the arguably more common Shiver me timbers is likely 20th century in origin.

		Marryat made Frank Mildmay a scamp, I am afraid, in order to prove that he himself had not stood for the portrait; but he clearly did not recognise the full enormities of his hero, to which he was partially blinded by a certain share thereof.
		Marryat, again, was trampled upon and left for dead when boarding an enemy (see chap, v.); he saved the midshipman who had bullied him, from drowning, though his reflections on the occasion are more edifying than those recounted in chap.
		It is related of the Great Frederick that he misbehaved the first time he went into action; and it is certain that a novice in such a situation can no more command all his resources than a boy when first bound apprentice to a shoemaker can make a pair of shoes.
