Captains Courageous

When Harvey Cheyne, a pampered teenager whose father is a powerful shipping magnate, falls overboard during an ocean crossing, he is pulled from the sea by the crew of a Gloucester fishing schooner. To survive the rough voyage back to his family, he must put aside his entitled attitude, work alongside the hard-nosed fishermen, and win their respect. Kipling mixes a rip-roaring sea adventure with a classic coming-of-age tale, using humor and hard-won lessons about loyalty, courage, and the value of honest work.
