Wreckers

"From all around Britain, Bathurst has uncovered the secret history of ships and shipwreck victims, from shoreline orgies so dionysian that few participants survived until morning to crofts fitted with silver candelabra, and from coastlines rigged like stage sets to the strange tale of Britain's Royal Fish. Spanning three hundred years of history, The Wreckers examines the myths, realities, and superstitions of shipwrecks, and uncovers the darker side of life on our island shores."--BOOK JACKET.Bathurst, Bella is the author of 'Wreckers', published 2005 under ISBN 9780007170326 and ISBN 0007170327.
