Reviews
"All the chapters reveal aspects of human behaviour in stressful and dangerous situations. Pillaging a wreck for the alcoholic drink aboard shows men's baser instincts might overrule their urge for self-preservation. In the boats, privation was widespread: inadequate, saturated clothing and shortages of food were constant problems." -- Journal for Maritime Research "Journal for Maritime Research, June 2002" ." . . fascinating reading from the start."
