The novel is characterized by its lyrical prose and vibrant characterizations, effectively immersing the reader in the vibrant world of 19th-century seafaring. Merwin's adept handling of dialogue and vivid imagery not only brings the sailing life to the forefront but also serves as a commentary on the zeitgeist of the time, revealing the complexities of social interactions and individual aspirations amidst the unpredictable seas of life. Merwin, an American novelist and playwright born in 1874, drew from his own experiences and a keen sensibility towards the transformative power of travel and nature.
