From the Back Cover

AHOY, MATE!

 

Step into the past and aboard the decks of these twenty-five proud vessels, each one launched with high hopes but doomed finally to disaster. From the Huron, a wreck that caused 103 sailors to lose their lives, to the Pulaski, a maritime mishap where two star-crossed lovers almost lost each other forever, author Bob Brooke spins these tales with heart-pounding drama . Whether battered by hurricane-force gales, gouged by hidden rocks, or simply sabotaged by poor judgment, these ships live on in the most compelling ocean-going stories you've ever read.
