"I have been a wanderer, and a child of chance all my days. Twice I circled the globe. I have set down an account of my life at sea."
In 1769, at the age of 14, John Nicol sailed on his first of many adventures. Treacherous stormy seas, strange lands, shipwrecks and grisly war, The True Adventures of John Nicol tells his unforgettable story in his own words.
