Notes:
"Electrotyped by C.C. Morse & Son, Haverhill, Mass" -- verso of title page.
"Ocean-born is the sixth and last volume of The yacht club series, and, following the plan of its predecessors in the series, the author has made it an independent story, having no necessary connection with the preceding books of the series. ... Both the Yacht club and the Dorcas club are introduced in this story, in order that in this, the last volume of the series, 'the conclusion of the whole matter' may be properly reached" -- Preface, page 5, dated at Towerhouse, Boston, March, 12, 1875.
"To my young friend Lee Shepard Dillingham Leavitt, of Hampton, N.H., for his own sake, as well as for that of the triplet of honored names he bears, besides his own, this book is affectionately dedicated" -- dedication, page 3.
By William Taylor Adams (id est, "Oliver Optic").
