Valued as a skilled worker who moved the wealth of the nation in commercial vessels or protected its ships and waters in military ones, the nineteenth-century American seaman was also utterly dehumanized. Yet the seaman could resort to the courts for redress. There he might speak and be heard. And there he has left a record of his struggle for dignity as an American. This analyses that record through the decisions of judges, and the legal and literary writings of advocates such as Richard Henry Dana, Jr., as well as the works of professional writers such as Herman Melville.
