THE OPEN BOAT


 The Open Boat is a dramatic short story
based on Stephen Crane’s own real-life
experience, when a ship he was sailing on to
Cuba sank in high seas off the coast of
Florida. He was a correspondent for an
American newspaper and he was on his way
to write about problems that led up to The
Spanish-American War in 1898.
 Stephen Crane recreated his experience in a
wonderful story where he talks about four
men who face the ocean indifferent to them.
 The four men were: a cook, a correspondent,
an oiler and a captain.
