The First Adventure at Sea

I was born in 1632, in York. My father was a foreigner  from Bremen, Germany. He f irst moved to Hull for  business then went to York. He got married there. I had  two elder brothers, so I was the youngest in the family.

Both of my brothers were killed and I was the only child  left. My parents were very old and they sent me to a  public school in the country. I didn’t like the school. Sea  was the only thing that made me happy. My father was a  wise man who was very worried about my new interest.

I wanted to leave my father’s house and sail away. My  old man thought it was not such a good idea to leave  my native country.
