Gathered round the fire, a group of boys beg their Uncle Thomas for stories of shipwrecks. He tells them of real disasters: Captain Richard Falconer’s adventures, the mutiny on the Bounty, the burning of the East Indiaman Kent, the raft of the Medusa, the sinking of the Royal George and the wreck of the packet Albion.
True sea disasters retold for young readers, with the moral and religious lessons of their day. Download the free EPUB.
