"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."
