Being aboard a sinking ship is perhaps the most terrifying
experience a human being can endure. Imagine those last peaceful
moments as the vessel beneath you slides quickly into the dark
waters that only moments before you had so confidently glided
across. It is as one survivor you will read about in this stunning
collection recalled, "a sudden sickening sense of disaster."
Awaiting you are starvation, thirst and unimagined weather--perhaps
blistering sun or soul-crushing cold. Outside your leaking and
fragile craft are circling sharks waiting to tear you to shreds.
Hope will fade quickly. Utterly absorbing and eminently
entertaining, here is a collection of inspirational stories of life
and death and hope-and of resilience and unimagined strength. These
stories show more than anything the indomitable spirit of sailors
who scoffed at death and moved on-doing what they had to do to
live. Among the tales in this terrifying yet absorbing collection
are the recollections of sailors from the USS Indianapolis who
floated hopelessly as their companions were torn apart by sharks;
of the crew whaleship Essex, who did the unthinkable; of small boat
adventurers like Dougal Robertson, who survived for weeks on little
but faith. The Greatest Sea Survival Stories Ever Told is a tribute
to incredible men and women. It is a testament to the remarkable
fortitude that made them quiet heroes.
