有一本 Richard Dana 写的《两年前桅》（Two Years Before the Mast），他是一名早在淘金热前几年就到访过旧金山湾的水手。

Richard Henry Dana 的《两年前桅》（Two Years Before the Mast）讲述的是一种早已消逝的生活方式，但非常值得一读。至于更近代的商船队生活，Christopher Buckley 的《Steaming to Bamboola》非常搞笑，而且我觉得相当…
Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana is about a way of life long gone, but it is well worth reading. As for the more recent merchant marine, Christopher Buckley's Steaming to Bamboola is very funny, and I suppose fairly…
达尔文的《小猎犬号航海记》（Voyage of the Beagle）[0] 也是极佳的旅行读物。他的风格要科学严谨得多。但他那种理性主义的视角常常能对所到之处做出非常敏锐的观察。 Dana 的《两年前桅》（Two Years Before the Mast）[1] 是另一本优秀的航海书籍。Dana 刚从哈佛毕业不久，在加利福尼亚大庄园时代的最后岁月绕过合恩角前往加州。任何硅谷（SV）人都能认出那些地名，但认不出…
Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle[0] is also a great travel read. His style is much more scientific. But that eye for rationalism often leads to very good observations about the places he visited Dana's Two Years Before the Mast[1] is another good voyage book.

你大概会喜欢 Richard Henry Dana 的《两年前桅》（Two Years Before the Mast）——记录了 1820 年代在一艘高桅横帆船上工作的生活（波士顿 - 合恩角 - 加利福尼亚）。这是我个人的心头好。

经典版本：《两年前桅》（Two Years Before the Mast），作者 Richard Henry Dana，一位为了改善健康而在帆船上度过两年的作家。Dana 还以在 1834 年就预言旧金山湾将变得极具经济价值而闻名。

终极“航海日志式书籍”绝对得算 1840 年出版的《两年前桅》（Two Years Before the Mast）。书中对加州海岸有极为精彩的描写，而且相当到位地解释了为什么洛杉矶尽管拥有最糟糕的自然……却能成为最大的城市。
The ultimate boat-log-as-a-book has to be Two Years Before the Mast, published in 1840. It has some great descriptions of the California coast, and does a pretty decent job of giving you an idea of why Los Angeles became the biggest city despite having the worst natural…
