The Open Boat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"The Open Boat" is a short story by Stephen Crane, published in 1897. The short story is based on a similar incident Crane had in January of that year. During a trip to Cuba to work as a newspaper correspondent, and during the Cuban insurrection against Spain, Crane was stranded at sea for thirty hours after his ship, the SS Commodore, sank off the coast of Florida. Crane and three other men were forced to navigate their way to shore in a small boat. One of the men, an oiler named Billy Higgins, drowned while trying to swim to shore. Crane wrote the story "The Open Boat" soon afterward. "The Open Boat” in many ways is a story that speaks to the monumental experience of suffering a close call with death.
