Chalkley, Thomas

The Oxford Companion to American Literature | 1995 | | Copyright

Chalkley, Thomas (1675–1741), sea captain, divided his time between trading and missionary voyages and preaching his Quaker gospel in England and the colonies. He appears in Whittier's Snow‐Bound as the “gentlest of skippers, rare sea‐saint.” His simple Journal (1747), recounting both his adventures and his quiet religious life, was widely admired by Quakers.
