- Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1840 ottenne un grande successo di pubblico che nel libro di Dana trovò la prima felice espressione di un modello di narrativa di mare che sarà poi sviluppato da Herman Melville in Moby Dick (1851).

Inoltre la permanenza a terra come lavorante in una conceria consentì a Dana di condividere i modi di vita dei primi coloni della costa californiana, descritti poi ampiamente nel libro.
