Inhaltsangabe

This is the story of the pluck, courage, and adventuresome nature of a young teen who was orphaned early in life and raised by an older childless fisherman couple. His early life was spent in a small fishing village. Through his courage, he was able to save the life of his future benefactor who opened the world to Geoffrey and his ambition to be a part of the British Royal Navy. Through the assistance of his benefactor, he obtains an appointment as a midshipman in HMS Orpheus whence his adventures begin. He encounters pirates in the Caribbean area where he seizes the opportunities to fight for England and a better way of life for the colonists. After many exciting adventures, he returns to England, is knighted by the King, and given a command of a frigate to wage war against Napoleon's forces on the Spanish coastline where he further distinguishes himself by his ingenuity and resourcefulness. He participates in the historical battle of Trafalgar which saves England from being invaded by French forces. This story is fraught with action, romance, and a certain amount of realism. It should appeal to all ages and walks of life.
