GREAT SHIPWRECKS AND CASTAWAYS - AUTHENTIC ACCOUNTS OF DISASTERS AT SEA - EDITED BY CHARLES NEIDER

Each of these stories is a drama of man's battle against the sea and nature, stamped with the time and personality of the individuals who wrote them. The stories are true, set down by the men and women who by endurance, courage or ingenuity, somehow managed to survive their harrowing experience long enough to leave the record behind. Helpful in this book, is that the stories are related in chronological order, for example, the first story took place in the year 1540 and is entitled 'The Adventures of Peter Serrano'. There are twenty accounts, and here are some of those titles: By Richard Clarke of Weymouth, A Poor Englishman Cast Away, A Most Dangerous Voyage by Captain John Monck, An Account of the Shipwrecked Crew of a Dutch Vessel, Philip Ashton's Own Account, The Remarkable Shipwreck of the Sloop Betsy, The Loss of H.M.S. Phoenix, The Sufferings of Miss Ann Saunders, Murder Without Malice, The Wreck of the Ville Du Havre
