About the work

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

LibriVox recording of Redburn: His First Voyage, by Herman Melville. Read by James K. White. Melville wrote of some of his earliest experiences at sea in the story of Wellingborough Redburn, a wet-behind-the-ears youngster whose head was filled with dreams of foreign travel and adventure. In Redburn, the protagonist enlists for a stint as a seaman aboard Highlander, a merchant ship running between New York and London. As with many of Melville's works, this one is as much about class and race as it is about the sea. (Summary by James K. White)
