  Hen Frigates: Wives of Merchant Captains Under Sail
Hen Frigates: Wives of Merchant Captains Under Sail 
Though they do not figure largely in most versions of maritime history, women were often aboard the chunky sloops and schooners that carried coastal cargo, as well as the more glamorous clippers and other large windjammers. When women were aboard, the ships were called "hen frigates". Druett has provided a valuable collective portrait of these seafaring women, whose lives were as hard as they were adventure-filled.
