Story0
Just past midnight, on February 3, just hours from their destination, the Dorchester was torpedoed and sank, throwing its passengers into the frigid waters and creating the worst single loss of an American personnel convoy during WWII. Many of the survivors credit the four chaplains with saving their lives. Those chaplains would become known as the “Immortal Chaplains” for their heroism in making the ultimate sacrifice.

Story0
The riveting story of one of the most calamitous voyages in Australian history, the plague-stricken sailing ship Ticonderoga that left England for Victoria with 800 doomed emigrants on board. For more than a century and a half, a grim tale has passed down through Michael Veitch’s family: the story of the Ticonderoga, a clipper ship that sailed from Liverpool in August 1852, crammed with poor but hopeful emigrants - mostly Scottish victims of the Clearances and the potato famine. A better life, they believed, awaited them in Australia.

This is a harrowing survivor account of the sinking of the Lusitania, a luxury, trans-Atlantic passenger ship which was struck by a German torpedo on May 7, 1915 during WWI. The Foreword and Afterword contain other survivor accounts as well as the backstory of the ocean liner and the events (and cover-up, suppressed for a hundred years) which led to that fateful journey during which 1198 British, Canadian, and American souls, including dozens of children and babies, were tragically drowned just eleven miles off the coast of Ireland and one day away from their destination in England.

On October 31, 1803, the frigate USS Philadelphia ran aground on a reef a few miles outside the harbor of Tripoli. After hours under fire, the Philadelphia, aground and defenseless, surrendered, and 307 American sailors and marines were captured. The bashaw ordered the crew moved into an old warehouse, and the officers were eventually moved to a dungeon beneath the Bashaw's castle. While the officers were treated as "gentlemen," although imprisoned, the sailors worked as enslaved laborers.

The shipping container is all around: whizzing by on the highway, trundling past on rails, unloading behind a big box store even as you shop there, clanking on the docks just out of sight…. 90% of the goods and materials that move around the globe do so in shipping containers. It is an absolutely ubiquitous object, even if most of us have no direct contact with it. But what is this thing? Where has it been, and where is it going? Craig Martin’s book illuminates the “development of containerization”...

Durante muchos años, la literatura, y ahora los medios de comunicación, han transmitido una imagen de la piratería que poco o nada tiene que ver con la realidad. En estas páginas, Javier Martínez-Pinna ha sometido a crítica esta visión para mostrarnos las atrocidades perpetradas por estos monstruos (Henry Morgan, El Olonés, Roque el Brasileño o Barbanegra) que hicieron del asesinato, la tortura y el crimen su forma de vida más característica.

Mit feinem Gespür für historische Dramatik und psychologische Tiefe zeichnet Stefan Zweig das Porträt eines der kühnsten Entdecker der Menschheitsgeschichte: Ferdinand Magellan. In einer Zeit, in der die Welt noch voller weißer Flecken war, wagt Magellan das scheinbar Unmögliche – die erste Weltumsegelung. Doch Zweigs Biografie ist weit mehr als ein Abenteuerbericht. Sie ist eine literarische Hommage an den unbeirrbaren Willen, die visionäre Kraft und das stille Heldentum eines Mannes, der gegen Widerstände, Intrigen und Naturgewalten kämpft, um eine Idee zu verwirklichen.

Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, was the most feared pirate of the Golden Age—a towering figure who struck terror into the hearts of sailors from the Caribbean to the Carolinas. Most biographies seem to start and stop with that statement, but there was much more to the life of Blackbeard than that, and much more to learn about the man behind history’s most fearsome pirate legend.

Nestled at the bottom of an old leather trunk for well over a century lay a forgotten manuscript—a long-lost story the author's great-great-grandson has now brought to life. At the heart of A Whaler at Twilight is the true account of an American whaler who embarked on a harrowing adventure in the South Pacific during the mid-nineteenth century in search of absolution and redemption. After the deaths of his parents, young Robert Armstrong lived with a successful uncle—a well-respected Methodist shopkeeper in bustling 1840s Baltimore—and attended the nation’s first dental school.

In the early decades of the sixteenth century, mariners from across Europe forged a vast seasonal fishery along the coasts of the northwest Atlantic. Long before there was Newfoundland or Canada, Europeans called this floating colony Terra Nova, and they laid the foundation for a history of extracting food and fuel that extended into the twentieth century. Once one of the largest European colonies in the Atlantic basin, Terra Nova has never before been considered in its historical entirety or in a wider Atlantic context.

Spanning the period from the Anglo-Saxons to the coming of the railway, two Points East is about the boats, the fishing and some of the lives lived on the North sea coast of Norfolk, from the once world-famous herring fishery in Great Yarmouth to the extraordinary rescues of Cromer’s famous lifeboatman Henry Blogg.

Using the coastal towns of Suffolk as a framework, the book explores a diversity of subjects from rope making to ship burials and from coastal erosion to the early navigators. Curlew Coast covers the period from when the Anglo-Saxons first sailed up the East Anglian rivers, to the age of the railway when the engine began to take over from sail.
