About the Book

The stories told here actually happened; none is imaginary; none is embellished; all are more fantastic than fiction and are little known. These true tales of nineteenth-century survival reveal the terror, the horror, the dark truths about human nature, the limits of courage and the fragility of life, about people who have been abandoned to the sea, and the ultimate joy of rescue.
