Charles Tyng
Charles Tyng (August 24, 1801 – June 20, 1879) was a New England sea captain and merchant, notable for a memoir written near the end of his life. Although Tyng was born, the fifth of eight children, to a prosperous upper-middle class family, his mother died when he was seven, and Tyng thereafter seemed unable to apply himself to his studies. Sent to sea at age thirteen, Tyng matured quickly and, by his early twenties—beginning within the empire of Boston merchant prince Thomas Handasyd Perkins—Tyng was captaining his own ships, in the process encountering sharks, pirates, mutinies, shipwrecks, horrific storms, and cholera. The memoir of his early life has been called "an irreplaceable account of the nation's seafaring history, an authentic chronicle that needs no fictional embellishment," for instance, shedding additional light on the Canton system in China and the folklore of early nineteenth-century seamen. In 1826, Tyng married Anna Arnold (1804-1831), who died before ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
