Great American Shipwreck Stories is a magnificent collection of
gripping accounts of a ship's encounter with a great whale or an
overwhelming monsoon or a disastrous passage through the Straits of
Magellan, leading to a wreck and a crew's harrowing plight for
survival on the open seas or on a desert island. Capturing all the
elements of ancient and powerful tragedy, this book is chockful of
thrilling tales of survival - as well as a frightful examination of
man's darkest impulses - which allow the reader a gruesome glimpse
behind the veil of honor and bravery that history often ascribes to
such men of the sea. These are all stories that have endured the
test of time, and have attracted discerning readers for
generations. Includes stories by George Byron Merrick, Owen Chase,
Henry Cabot Lodge, Theodore Roosevelt, Riley Brown, J. S. Ogilvie,
Horace Holden, and many others.
