Beskrivelse af The Wreck Of The Grosvenor
The Wreck of the Grosvenor is a non-fiction book written by William Clark Russell, detailing the tragic tale of the Grosvenor shipwreck. The book recounts the story of the Grosvenor, a British East Indiaman that was on its way to India in 1782 when it hit a reef off the coast of South Africa. The crew attempted to make repairs, but tensions rose and a mutiny broke out, resulting in the loss of the ship and many lives. The survivors were forced to make their way to the nearest settlement, enduring harsh conditions and facing numerous challenges along the way. The book provides a vivid and gripping account of the events leading up to the shipwreck, the mutiny, and the aftermath of the disaster. It also explores the social and cultural context of the time, shedding light on the attitudes and beliefs of the crew and the challenges they faced. Written in a clear and engaging style, The Wreck of the Grosvenor is a must-read for anyone interested in maritime history, adventure, and survival stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
