(Cape Town: Human & Rousseau, 1986) 0798120061. 8vo; laminated pictorial boards; pp. 140, incl. index; plates; map. Light bump to bottom fore-corner. Very good condition. "These are very human stories for it is the characters rather than the events that hold our interest. There are plain tales of heroism - Wolraad Woltemade (whom everyone knows) and Jochem Willemsz (whom virtually nobody knows); there is horror in the dreadful privations of the survivors of the Cospatrick, which caught fire at sea; and there is fufilment in the inspired leadership of such men as Nuno Volho Pereira and Sir Ernest Shackleton. A truly gripping collection of disasters at sea, masterfully recounted." .
