In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men.Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships’ logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century homosexual culture as it developed at sea and in America’s port cities.

I'm not sure how he got 269 pages of text out of this and 45 pages of endnotes, well, by repeating himself a lot, but anyway; the author admits that a lot of information is missing from the historical record, either because the men responsible for reporting on man on man sex as an offense were squeamish or because records mentioning it were destroyed, for the same approximate reason. So I totally appreciate the qualifiers, they're necessary to understanding the inferences and speculative nature of his ideas. the chapter on corporal punishment, of purely prurient interest in the context of the book. to oversimplify then, he argues that homosexuality was a tolerable part of necessarily all male communities and was condoned as long as it was consensual and effortfully concealed. interesting reasonable and perhaps obvious idea; not enough historical information; too many words; no illustrations.
