| Summary | "She Blows! And Sparm at That!" by William John Hopkins is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the life of Tim Taycox, who reflects on his formative years in New Bedford during the era of whaling, expressing both the dreams and realities of his youth as he yearns to join the crew of a whaling ship. This coming-of-age story explores themes of adventure, family, and the bittersweet passage of time. The opening of the book introduces the main character, Tim, as he nostalgically reminisces about his youth growing up in a bustling whaling port. He describes his family background, his school days, and his fascination with the wharves and ships that filled his childhood world. Through vivid imagery and detailed accounts of life by the docks, Tim expresses a strong desire to venture into the whaling trade, setting the stage for the adventures that await him as he contemplates his future and the call of the open sea. The narrative is rich in sensory details, capturing the sights, sounds, and smells of the whaling industry, while highlighting Tim's deep emotional connections to his family and his aspirations for adventure.
