The Life of a Ship

The Life Of A Ship Is Not A Novel By R. M. Ballantyne. It Seems To Be A Misconception Or A Misattributed Title. R. M. Ballantyne Was Indeed A Prolific Author Known For His Adventure Novels Particularly Those Aimed At Young Readers But There'S No Record Of Him Having Written A Book Titled The Life Of A Ship. However Ballantyne Did Write Numerous Maritime-Themed Novels Some Of Which Include: The Coral Island (1857) - This Is One Of Ballantyne'S Most Famous Works Following The Adventures Of Three Boys Stranded On A South Pacific Island. The Pirate City: An Algerine Tale (1874) - Set In The Mediterranean This Novel Explores The Adventures Of A Young Man Captured By Pirates. The Floating Light Of The Goodwin Sands (1870) - While Not Specifically About Ships This Novel Revolves Around Maritime Themes Focusing On The Dangers Of The Goodwin Sands Off The Coast Of Kent England.
