Accounts of actual disasters at sea,
By
This review is from: The Lonely Sea (Mass Market Paperback)
While the author is more known for his fiction, this is a collection of short accounts of actual events at sea, with what seems to be a small amount of fiction added in. The Sinking of the Bismark has been covered in longer accounts (and also a motion picture) so the account here could be considered an abridged version of the action. He also includes accounts of other ships which are fairly well known, e.g., the Lancastria and the Jervis Bay, and many not as well known. It is of some interest to people studying the history of such events (it provides a quick reference with an overview of the action), as well as interesting to the general reader. It is an easy to read collection that can be read in segments (ideal for commuter trains, etc.).
