"Seeing the World..." was first published in 1867.
Charles Nordhoff, an American born in Germany, started publishing his sea adventures in 1856, when he was 26. He published "Nine Years as a Sailor" in 1857; the first part of his sailing aboard a man-of-war on a voyage to China as cabin-boy.
He was the grandfather of Charles Bernard Nordhoff, who wrote "Mutiny on the Bounty."
