 Books : Voice From The Main Deck-Softbound (Sailor's Tales)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Samuel Leech's memoirs of his adventures at sea represent one of the few articulate accounts of life in the sailing navy by an ordinary seaman.
Just twelve years old when he left home, the young Leech had a romantic view of seafaring which was soon dashed by the crushing reality of life aboard the Macedonian.
The memoirs are made doubly fascinating because Leech contrived to fight in the War of 1812 on both sides, being captured by the Americans after the battle with the USS United States, and to his surprise he found the American navy little better, witnessing constant floggings and capricious command.

In the preface to the “New Edition” (the 16th), Richard H Dana Jr., author of "Two Years before the Mast" recalls Leech as an honest narrator, of sound religious principle, who did not embellish his accounts.
This is possibly why this paperback is rather dull reading, as he authentically depicts the very hard life of the naval rating of his day.
In 1810, at the age of twelve, Leech voluntarily joined the British frigate Macedonian from a literate family retained by nobility.
