About this document
The Stages of Life in Poetry by James Dugan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This poem provides a humorous summary of life aboard "The Walloping Window Blind", describing the unconventional crew and activities. The captain dines lavishly while the crew eats meager rations. Despite facing gale-force winds, the man at the wheel feels contempt for the weather. The boatswain plays games with the starboard watch during clear skies, while the gunner fires salutes from the cannon tail. Though faced with storms, this ship and crew appear unbothered by the typical hardships of ocean travel.
