About This Item
Saint John's, NF, Canada: Flanker Press Limited, 2003. -----Large soft cover, tight square and clean, no names, (xi) 276 pages plus 16 pages of b & w photos, with map, minor edge wear. "Just before dawn, over nine hours after leaving port, Captain Martin ran his ship full steam onto the rocks just north of Cape Race. But that was only the beginning of a long & gruelling drama. As the ship slowly disintegrated, the passengers and crew desperately tried to save themselves. Men, women and children were washed overboard, or killed from exposure, or fatally trapped below deck. From the shore helpless fishermen watched in horror. Twenty-seven hours after striking the reef the daring rescue took place. Of the 138 on board, seventeen passengers & twenty-seven crew members survived. In "A Winter's Tale" Cassie Brown retells in chilling detail the story of the wreck, the rescue & the enquiry that followed. And she proposes, for the first time, the real reason for this senseless disaster." Any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a stock photo. Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good Plus. Illus. by Cover Illustration: Vince McIndoe . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾".
