"At once a penetrating work of literary analysis and a riveting
historical narrative." -Nathaniel Philbrick Merging maritime
adventure and early colonial history, A Brave Vessel charts a
little-known chapter of the past that offers a window on the
inspiration for one of Shakespeare's greatest works. In 1609,
aspiring writer William Strachey set sail for the New World aboard
the Sea Venture, only to wreck on the shores of Bermuda. Strachey's
meticulous account of the tragedy, the castaways' time in Bermuda,
and their arrival in a devastated Jamestown, remains among the most
vivid writings of the early colonial period. Though Strachey had
literary aspirations, only in the hands of another William would
his tale make history as The Tempest-a fascinating connection
across time and literature that Hobson Woodward brings vividly to
life.
