Description
In nineteenth-century parlance, a “poor jack” is a waterfront urchin, which is how we meet sailor's son Thomas Saunders in Greenwich, England. Swept into the English Channel with his friend Bramble, he survives imprisonment in France, eventually making his fortune as a Thames River pilot. Marryat also paints a realistic portrait of contemporary home life.
