About this book
Shipwrecks, mutinies, derelicts and open-boat voyages from the age of sail - the raft of the Medusa, Bligh's open boat after the Bounty mutiny, the wreck of the Wager. Paine wrote maritime history from the logs and the survivors' depositions. This edition adds a gallery of 60 plates, among them paintings by J. M. W. Turner, Ivan Aivazovsky and Winslow Homer, alongside 16 illustrations restored and coloured for this printing.
