Summary "Sea Apprentice" by Frank T. Bullen is a novel written in the early 20th century. It is a coming-of-age tale that follows a young boy named Frank Brown as he embarks on an adventurous journey at sea, driven by a longing for exploration and the thrill of maritime life. Throughout the narrative, Frank faces the challenges and harsh realities of being an apprentice sailor, attending to the trials and tribulations that come with the profession. The opening of the book introduces readers to Frank Brown, a 14-year-old boy yearning to escape the ordinary confines of his life and explore the world as a sailor. His passion for the sea is met with resistance from his father, who hopes for a more stable future for his son. After a memorable incident at sea during a family holiday, Frank is encouraged to pursue his dreams, and, through the help of Captain Burns, secures a position on the merchant ship "Sealark". The narrative then chronicles his transition from an innocent dreamer to facing the grueling realities of seafaring, including difficult tasks, the rough treatment from older apprentices, and enduring the challenges of the turbulent sea.
