More than 160 years later, this incredible story has resurfaced as Gill Hoffs dons her detective hat to uncover the truth of the emigrants' terrifying experience and the captain and crew's cowardice and lies, which went unpunished. Using a variety of sources such as contemporary newspaper reports, letters and diaries, plus information from descendants, she has pieced together a remarkable tale of its time and ours. -- (01/01/2017)
