With 17 historic accounts of titanic proportions, Wreck chronicles maritime dramas that have ended in courage … or cannibalism.
Through these carefully-chosen accounts, which span 1752 to 2005, historian Jean Hood captures the fortitude – or flaws – of the sailors or civilians trapped in horrific sea disasters.
You’ll be immersed by the story of:
• the sinking of the Titanic
• an inexperienced captain who entrusted his ship to a passenger and whose voyage ended in cannibalism
• a U-boat that went to the rescue of the ship it had just sunk
• and more.
If you’re after a compelling read, this is it. Warships International Fleet Review said it, “reads like the best fiction”.
