Remarkable Voyages Shipwrecks: Being a Popular Collection of Extraordinary and Authentic Sea Marratives Relating to All Parts, of the Globe (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Remarkable Voyages Shipwrecks: Being a Popular Collection of Extraordinary and Authentic Sea Marratives Relating to All Parts, of the Globe
In the circumstances, no wonder that every aspect of life on the ocean is of immense interest to ourselves. And that the literature in our language, connected with the sea is multitudinous, dealing as it does with all phases Of nautical life whether historical, practical, or narrative in character. The present volume deals with only two aspects, namely that of remarkable voyages and of remarkable shipwrecks. These two sections are a good deal allied and indeed often combined. Then again the present collection of remarkable voyages and shipwrecks is purposely somewhat limited in scope. For instance it does not include voyages or wrecks of steam ships, nor does it include any shipwrecks on our own, or neighbouring coasts, with the single exception of the short account of the Spanish Armada.
