Chapter 1My First Experience At SeaI need to tell you first about myself before I start to tell my unbelievable life story.I was born in the city of York in the north of England in 1632. My father was from Germany. He emigrated to England in order to live and work. After a while he got married to my mother. She was English. Her family name was Robinson. So when I was born they gave me the name 'Robinson.'
