Swept Out to Sea, or, Clint Webb Among the Whalers by W. Bert plunges listeners into a bracing nautical adventure that tests courage, loyalty, and the pull of the ocean. Young Clint Webb finds himself swept from familiar shores into the brutal, mesmerizing world of whaling—the shipboard camaraderie, the grind of long voyages, and the sudden dangers that turn a boy into a sailor.

Bert paints vivid scenes of life aboard the Wavecrest and other vessels: eerie calms, thunderous storms, uncharted havens, and the strange superstitions of whalemen.
