When fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr, the spoiled son of a railway tycoon, is swept off his steamship by a wave and rescued by fishermen he learns some hard lessons about life and what it means to be a man.

Can the boy unused to manual labor learn the ropes at sea? Teddy Roosevelt said of Captains Courageous that it describes “in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do.
