Only two men survived, and their first-hand accounts are here. The passengers included many wealthy and famous...

The twenty-six-year-old watchman had, quite literally, missed the boat--which meant scrambling to rejoin the Morrell at its next stop or forfeiting a good chunk of his pay package. Seventy-two hours later, Hale would find himself clinging to a life raft alongside the frozen bodies of his crewmates in the violent waves of Lake Huron. The...

The Buccaneers of America
ISBN: 9781633914001 / Angielski / Miękka / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin (1645-1707) was known by several names due to poor transcriptions of his name, including John Esquemeling, among others.

He was said to be a part of Henry Morgan's pirate band, and some of their exploits are...
