A selection of true-life dramas that chronicle the perils and
misfortunes faced by deep-sea sailing ships of the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. It relates the dangers faced and the battles
waged, and all too often lost, against the hazards of the sea.
Shipboard work was hard and often routinely dangerous for crews who
bore the extraordinary hardships as their duty to obey their
captains and drive their ships to a safe port to discharge or take
on cargoes. From remarkable voyages, mutinies, hoaxes, curiosities
and disease, to messages in a bottle, this book has a fund of
amazing tales and will engross the reader - maritime historian,
sailor (whether retired , current or armchair), or anyone with an
interest in the sea and tales of adventure.
