Maritime life in the nineteenth century was as perilous as it was necessary. Whether voyages were military, exploratory or mercantile, or for passenger transport, the seas were full of ships, and sailors never knew if they would return home, whether due to enemy forces or capricious weather. - Summary by LynneT (3 hr 7 min)

Anonymous did a great job telling about the lives and how they coped during the wreck. The story clutches at the heart and showed how many heroes came out during the crisis. Be ready to have tissues near when you read this story.
