Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Four hundred died and only nine survived. A winter gale in 1845. Australia's worst civil disaster - a sailing ship stranded only 150 yards off the deserted shore of King Island, isolated by rows of reefs; victims clinging, for up to two days, to the disintegrating vessel. The miraculous rescue of the survivors by an ex-convict, the response to the news in Melbourne and England, and the gruesome aftermath of burial and salvage complete the tale.

But who were the people who died in this wreck? Why has history forgotten their names? And why has the story of the wreck of the Cataraqui been the subject of lies and deceit? (back cover)
