This short, invaluable record encapsulates a lifetime’s experience and study about sailing a square-rigger, a subject which Alan Villiers practised and studied for himself and which he also learned as an apprentice at the feet of the masters – men such as Ruben de Cloux or Captain Robert Miethe, mate of the five-masted Preussen and master of the Potosi, a five-masted barque, both of the famous Laeisz line of Hamburg. Miethe had rounded the Horn under sail on many occasions, and what he did not know about driving a sailingship was not worth knowing, although, like any true expert, he was modest in his knowledge.
The business of handling large square-rigged ships is not to be learned by reading but by doing. Now that the doing is all but impossible, this brief work is offered more as an introduction to a very large subject, a departed way of seafaring life, than any sort of comprehensive textbook. A list of some of these (for what they may now be worth) is given in an appendix.
They were helpful to those who already knew the subject from their own practical experience. They were intended to help these in their examinations for advancement in a profession they had mastered the only real way there was.
