Not a Gentleman's Work: The Untold Story of a Gruesome Murder at Sea and the Long Road to TruthThe true story of the most notorious crime in American nautical history a uniquely grotesque triple murder and the long journey to truth. The Herbert Fuller, a three masted sailing ship loaded with New England lumber, left Boston bound for Buenos Aires on July 8, 1896 with twelve people on board: captain and owner Charles Nash, his wife and childhood sweetheart Laura, two mates, the "mulatto" steward, six crewmen, and one passenger.

The true story of the most notorious crime in American nautical history -- a uniquely grotesque triple murder -- and the long journey to truth.The Herbert Fuller, a three-masted sailing ship loaded with New England lumber, left Boston bound for Buenos Aires on July 8, 1896 with twelve people on board: captain and owner Charles Nash, his wife and childhood sweetheart Laura, two mates, the "mulatto" steward, six crewmen, and one passenger. Just before 2 A.M. on the sixth day at sea, the captain, his wife, and the second mate were slaughtered in their individual bunkrooms with the ship's axe, seven or eight blows apiece. Laura Nash was found with her thin nightgown pushed above her hips, her head and upper body smashed and deformed. Incredibly, no one saw or heard the killings . . . except the killer.
After a harrowing voyage back to port for the survivors, the killer among them, it didn't take long for Boston's legal system to convict the first mate, a naturalized American of mixed blood from St. Kitts. But another man on board, a twenty-year-old Harvard passenger from a proper family, had his own dark secrets. Who was the real killer, and what became of these two men?
Not a Gentleman's Work is the story of the fates of two vastly different men whose lives intersected briefly on one horrific voyage at sea -- a story that reverberates with universal themes: inescapable terror, coerced confession, capital punishment, justice obscured by privilege, perseverance, redemption, and death by tortured soul.

Budget Friendly Stereo Speakers for Both New & Old Mac Users alike.
Size: 1 Pair, Color: Black, Size: 1 Pair, Color: Black
I purchased these for my Father’s MacBook Air and he absolutely loves everything about them.
It’s Ease of Use, and it’s Functionality with macOS despite it not being advertised on here.
As a Windows Migrant to Now Mac User from my personal experience they work flawlessly on a Mac.
The audio is great for what it is, and it’s USB powered making it to where you can repurpose old USB Cell Phone chargers into, PC/Mac Speaker Power Adapters in order to power it up. Without sacrificing your USB ports on your machines.
Only downsides are you can’t control the lights, and that the cables are a little weird and do take some getting used to.
Yet either way I highly recommend purchasing these Stereo Speakers for MacBook users, iMac users, Mac Studio users and Mac Mini users alike, who are looking for an Audio Upgrade while being budget conscious and all without sacrificing your desk space simultaneously.

A Great Pair of Small PC Speakers
Size: 1 Pair, Color: Silver, Size: 1 Pair, Color: Silver
These are great little pc speakers. They hookup easily, give off great sound, have an in line cord volume control and look great on the computer desk. The only thing missing is an on/off switch so you have to detach the usb to turn off the power, if desired, when the PC is on. My usb port is on the front of my desk top so it's easy.

Don't by used from amazon
Size: 1 Pair, Color: Black
Bought them used (don't do it plz) and they work well but at times I notice a hissing sound that always happens when I'm not playing any audio from them, and then there's times where there's no hissing sound. It's not the loudest but it can get kind of annoying. I'm sure it's because I bought them used but oh well, saved a few bucks and this is what I get. Other then that though the actual sound quality of the speakers is crazy good for the money. Speakers have nice weight to them and really decent bass to em as well. Just gotta give it 3 stars since Amazon didn't find it necessary to
1. Didn't clean the product before shipping so that it was in a presentable state, came to me hella dusty
2. Idk if anyone actually did long enough testing on this product when it got sent back, or else they would've fixed the hissing problem. I assume that was why it was sent back in the first place
3. Box was terribly packaged. No bubble wrap what so ever, the box the actual speakers were in also had nothing keeping them safe from getting smacked around during shipping. Multi billion dollar company can't even go the extra mile for the people who are paying them and keeping them in the business.

Perfect!
Size: 1 Pair, Color: Black
My husband wanted old-school plug-in speakers that had quality sound. These fit the bill and at an excellent price! They function exactly how the older speakers did, plug in and enjoy! No need to mount but you can if you wanted to. Easy to use and they have great volume. He does music making and video game development, so he needed the sound quality.
