In "e;Captains Courageous,"e; Rudyard Kipling tells the riveting tale of Harvey Cheyne Jr., a spoiled, wealthy boy who is washed overboard from a luxury ocean liner and rescued by fishermen off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Under the stern yet compassionate guidance of the schooner's Captain Troop, Harvey undergoes a dramatic transformation. Through hard work and the harsh realities of life at sea, Harvey learns the values of humility, responsibility, and respect for the camaraderie of those who live by the catch. Kipling's novel is a timeless ode to the sea and the making of a man.
Harvey Cheyne washed overboard from a transatlantic steamship and rescued by fishermen off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, the young Harvey Cheyne can neither persuade them to take him quickly to port, nor convince them that his is the son of a wealthy railroad magnate. Disko Troop, captain of the We're Here, offers him a job as part of the crew until they return to port. With no other choice, Harvey accepts.
