"Black Pawl" by Ben Ames Williams is a story set in the early 1900s, about a whaling ship captain and his strained relationship with his son, Red Pawl, filled with bitterness. Aboard the schooner, the harsh life at sea and the vibrant scenery of tropical islands form the backdrop for the unfolding drama. The captain's strong character clashes with his son's defiance, creating tension as they navigate the complex dynamics of fatherhood and resentment and the arrival of a missionary and a young woman named Ruth may shift the balance of power and loyalties on the ship.
