No other environment matches the danger of a hostile sea. This remarkable collection brings together over 60 extraordinary eyewitness accounts, from through the ages, of mishap, error and survival on the high seas. It includes modern cases like the high-ocean dismasting of Kingfisher 2, Richard van Pham's 100 days adrift in 2002, the Kursk submarine disaster and the Exxon Valdez, as well as legendary and lesser known historical events like the HMS Proserpine catastrophe, the Monsarrat storm at sea, and the wreck of the Medusa.
