Herman Melville (1819–1891) was an American poet and novelist of the American Renaissance, best known for his allusive adventure novel “Moby-Dick.” Partly based on the author’s experience, “Redburn” is a fascinating coming-of-age story of a young sailor Wellington Redburn, who decides to leave New York in search of a better life in Liverpool, England. It is a moving tale about losing an innocent outlook on life and obtaining life experience through overcoming adversity.

HOW WELLINGBOROUGH
REDBURN’S TASTE
FOR THE SEA WAS BORN
AND BRED IN HIM
“Wellingborough, as you are going to sea, suppose you take this shooting-jacket of mine along; it’s just the thing – take it, it will save the expense of another. You see, it’s quite warm; fine long skirts, stout horn buttons, and plenty of pockets.”
Out of the goodness and simplicity of his heart, thus spoke my elder brother to me, upon the eve of my departure for the seaport.
“And, Wellingborough,” he added, “since we are both short of money, and you want an outfit, and I Have none to give, you may as well take my fowling-piece along, and sell it in New York for what you can get. – Nay, take it; it’s of no use to me now; I can’t find it in powder any more.”
I was then but a boy. Some time previous my mother had removed from New York to a pleasant village on the Hudson River, where we lived in a small house, in a quiet way. Sad disappointments in several plans which I had sketched for my future life; the necessity of doing something for myself, united to a naturally roving disposition, had now conspired within me, to send me to sea as a sailor.

For months previous I had been poring over old New York papers, delightedly perusing the long columns of ship advertisements, all of which possessed a strange, romantic charm to me. Over and over again I devoured such announcements as the following:
FOR BREMEN
The coppered and copper-fastened brig Leda, having nearly completed her cargo, will sail for the above port on Tuesday the twentieth of May.
For freight or passage apply on board at Coenties Slip.
To my young inland imagination every word in an advertisement like this, suggested volumes of thought.
A brig! The very word summoned up the idea of a black, seaworn craft, with high, cozy bulwarks, and rakish masts and yards.
Coppered and copper-fastened!
That fairly smelt of the salt water! How different such vessels must be from the wooden, one-masted, green-and-white- painted sloops, that glided up and down the river before our house on the bank.
Nearly completed her cargo!
How momentous the announcement; suggesting ideas, too, of musty bales, and cases of silks and satins, and filling me with contempt for the vile deck-loads of hay and lumber, with which my river experience was familiar.
Will sail on Tuesday the 20th of May-and the newspaper bore date the fifth of the month! Fifteen whole days beforehand; think of that; what an important voyage it must be, that the time
