Enoch Cobb Wines (1806-1879) was an American Congregational minister and prison reform advocate. In 1829 he accepted a position as teacher in the Navy and was assigned to the ship Constellation. This work details his 2 1/2 years in that position. In August 1829, the ship cruised to the Mediterranean to watch over American shipping and to collect indemnities from previous losses suffered by U.S. merchantmen. While en route to station, it carried the American ministers to France and the United Kingdom to their posts of duty. Returning to the United States in November 1831, it underwent minor repairs and departed again for the Mediterranean in April 1832 where it remained until an outbreak of cholera forced it to sail for home in November 1834. Wines was a philhellene, in touch with members of the Greek government, and the section of the work concerning Greece contains much political and social commentary. Kitapta anlatılan yerler: England, Spain and North Africa, Greece and Asia Minor. Wines visited Josiah Brewer in Smyrna. He later became well known as a prison reformer. He later studied theology and was licensed to preach and had numerous positions as pastor or preacher for many years. In later years his time and attention were devoted to prison reform.
