He also warns Charlotte about Jaggery, the captain of the ship, which Charlotte does not believe.
On her first day aboard, a black sailor named Zachariah gives her a dirk for protection. Repeatedly, people tell her she should not be on the ship, but her escort, Mr. Charlotte finds herself the only passenger and the only female on the ship, the Seahawk. Her upper-class upbringing and her education give her a very sheltered and narrow view of life. The story starts in the early summer of 1832, as thirteen-year-old Charlotte Doyle prepares to take a voyage from Liverpool, England, to her family's home in Providence, Rhode Island. The novel was well received and won several awards, including being named as a Newbery Honor book in 1991. The book chronicles the evolution of the title character as she is pushed outside her naive existence and learns about life aboard a ship crossing from England to America in 1832. The book is marketed towards children at a reading level of grades 5–8. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle is a historical novel by the American author Avi published in 1990.
