Growing Up At Sea! Bored and lonely, the son of a millionaire is on an ocean voyage. Bragging and boasting to the other passengers, he is suddenly swept overboard. He is rescued by a small fishing boat. Here his money is useless, and idleness unheard of. Harvey must work with the others at their dangerous trade to earn his keep. He learns a way of life where money cannot buy everything, and a man's worth lies in who he is, not what he owns. Learning, discovery and danger all come together to bring a boy to manhood.

I loved the Great Illustrated Classics while I was growing up. They introduced me to many of my favorite stories. "Captain's Courageous" was one that I pulled off of the shelf many, many times. ( )
