The spoiled son of a millionaire, Harvey Cheyne is used to living a life of luxury. But when an accident at sea brings him to the deck of a Massachusetts fishing boat, he is suddenly thrown into a world he knows nothing about. Can he endure the back-breaking work of a fisherman? Will he ever see his parents again? Will he survive in a world where money does not matter, and laziness can lead to death on the high seas?

Captains Courageous is one of Kipling"s most entrancing tales. Set on the rich fishing grounds of the Grand Banks off Newfoundland, it tells how the motley crew of the fishing schooner We"re Here out of Gloucester, Massachusetts, make a dramatic rescue of a young man. He turns out to be the invertebrate and pampered son of an American millionaire.

The fishermen are unable to return the rescued youth to shore until the end of the fishing season and the story develops into a finely observed account of how his effete and spoilt character is changed by the drastic treannent of the rough but kindly crew.
