Add your own review!

Overview

This text examines the harrowing, almost mythic experience of shipwreck, near-shipwreck and survival in waters off Newfoundland. These experiences are related through first-hand accounts by travellers from many walks of life. Their narratives span four centuries and touch many historical sub-themes such as the appeal of religion in times of crisis, gender roles, and the ocean-as-workplace.
