Munro sketches the history of Bristol on Narragansett Bay, from Norse legends of Mount Hope to its seafaring heyday. At the heart of the book are true voyages by its sailors: Simeon Potter’s privateering raid on French Guiana, Norwest John’s voyage in the Juno to the northwest coast and Siberia, and James De Wolf’s privateer Yankee.
