The Crater, or Vulcan's Peak: a Tale of the Pacific is a novel by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1847. Cooper incorporated knowledge of ship construction he had acquired while working as a U.S. Navy midshipman in the 1810s.
Homeward Bound is an unusual mixture of sea-going romance and social commentary which grew out of Fenimore Cooper's project for its sequel, Home as Found (also available in this series).
