About This Item
Morrow. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1962. First Edition; First Impression. Hardcover. Book and dust in very good condition. Dust not price clipped and now in mylar cover. Text clean. "Amazing account of a shocking shipwreck. Details of passengers, crew, survivors. I have walked the headland, near Moelfre in Anglesey, where the Royal Charter was dashed on the rocks. On a calm day it is hard to imagine the violent seas and ferocious winds that could wreck what was considered to be a state-of-the-art clipper ship. It is well-researched, clearly written and a real page turner. It also gives information on how difficult it is to dive a wreck, trying to raise items from the seabed." Reviewer. ; Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 224 pages .
