Not a Gentleman's Work: The Untold Story of a Gruesome Murder at Sea and the Long Road to TruthThe true story of the most notorious crime in American nautical history a uniquely grotesque triple murder and the long journey to truth. The Herbert Fuller, a three masted sailing ship loaded with New England lumber, left Boston bound for Buenos Aires on July 8, 1896 with twelve people on board: captain and owner Charles Nash, his wife and childhood sweetheart Laura, two mates, the "mulatto" steward, six crewmen, and one passenger.

The true story of the most notorious crime in American nautical history -- a uniquely grotesque triple murder -- and the long journey to truth.The Herbert Fuller, a three-masted sailing ship loaded with New England lumber, left Boston bound for Buenos Aires on July 8, 1896 with twelve people on board: captain and owner Charles Nash, his wife and childhood sweetheart Laura, two mates, the "mulatto" steward, six crewmen, and one passenger. Just before 2 A.M. on the sixth day at sea, the captain, his wife, and the second mate were slaughtered in their individual bunkrooms with the ship's axe, seven or eight blows apiece. Laura Nash was found with her thin nightgown pushed above her hips, her head and upper body smashed and deformed. Incredibly, no one saw or heard the killings . . . except the killer.
After a harrowing voyage back to port for the survivors, the killer among them, it didn't take long for Boston's legal system to convict the first mate, a naturalized American of mixed blood from St. Kitts. But another man on board, a twenty-year-old Harvard passenger from a proper family, had his own dark secrets. Who was the real killer, and what became of these two men?
Not a Gentleman's Work is the story of the fates of two vastly different men whose lives intersected briefly on one horrific voyage at sea -- a story that reverberates with universal themes: inescapable terror, coerced confession, capital punishment, justice obscured by privilege, perseverance, redemption, and death by tortured soul.

Excellent durability for daily wear
Color: Gold Paperclip
I bought these earrings a year ago and I've been wearing them ever since! I never take them off because they are so comfortable. They never come unlatched and they are very durable. They look great and I love how they have some movement because of the two loops hooked together. For me the size is perfect, but you can always remove the dangling hoop to decrease the weight and create a smaller look. Even with booth hoops installed, they are so light that I cannot feel them in my ears. They would make a lovely gift because they look more expensive than the price I paid.

Good quality
Lovely earrings. A little smaller than I expected but
Going to keep them. A reasonable purchase. Lightweight and clasp a little tight but better than loose.

Cute but small
Color: Gold Paperclip
These are cute but they are smaller than I thought they would be. The only thing I did not like was that they kept coming apart. The two links would unhook and one hook would fall off. I squeezed them a little tighter and that helped.
