Flayhart, William H. : Perils of the Atlantic

  • description
  • additional information
This absorbing book spins many captivating accounts of disasters and near-disasters at sea--far beyond the Titanic and the Lusitania. In 1892 the City of Chicago jammed her bow into an Irish peninsula but stayed afloat long enough for all to be rescued; one engine of the City of Paris exploded in the mid-Atlantic and yet miraculously still made port; and as recently as 2000, the Sea Breeze I sank off the East Coast of the United States, but all on board were rescued in a heroic effort by Coast Guard helicopters. These and many more horrific maritime episodes are offered here by a master storyteller.
