About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Dog Watches at Sea, by Stanton H. King. Read by Peter Kelleher. Stanton H. King was from Barbados and followed his brothers to sea at the age of twelve in 1880. He spent only twelve years at sea for reasons given in this book. Thereafter, he became associated with the Sailors' Haven, Boston, Massachusetts and became its director. He was also a renowned Chantie singer and, in 1918, King's Book Of Chanties was published. King views the sailing life from "before the mast", that is, through the eyes of the common sailor.
