We cannot think of the ocean without remembering the great voyagers and sea-captains, the brave commanders, the pirates, rovers, and buccaneers of bygone days. But much of civilised man's fear is founded on a reasonable knowledge of the seas, sometimes his friend, yet often his foe. Vessel after vessel, fleet after fleet, arrived safely. But there was danger on the sea. The British Empire alone, in one year, lost over 1,000 vessels. Ravages of the sea engulfed all vessels, from rotten "coffin-ships" to splendid ironclads. This book "Perils Of the Sea - Ironclad Disasters" recreates from narratives of survivors, the causes and horror of souls swept into eternity. Read about the loss of the Royal George, a child saved by a sheep, wreck of the Medusa's "raft of corpses" and other ships caught in perils of the sea.
