Written with vivid immediacy and an aristocratic yet warmly personal tone, the narrative details the sights, peoples, and landscapes encountered across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, from the coasts of Brazil and Patagonia to Japan and South Africa. Brassey presents each port of call with keen observational detail, capturing the customs and natural wonders of distant lands through the eyes of a privileged but genuinely curious traveler. The account stands as both an adventure story and a social document, illustrating the confidence and reach of the Victorian upper class while offering an intimate portrait of life at sea for an entire family. First published in 1878, it became an immediate bestseller and remains a celebrated classic of nineteenth-century exploration literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48755504742619,"sku":"2026200004883-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/10d36f00-69c8-4dd2-b9be-e451e6f67829.png?v=1778221290","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004883-secondhand-a-voyage-in-the-sunbeam-our-home-on-the-ocean-for-eleven-months","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
