📗 Libro en inglés DISASTER AT SEA: SHIPWRECS, STORMS, AND COLLISION ON THE ATLANTIC

This is a paperbound reprint of a 2003 book. As if hurricanes, fog, and icebergs were not enough to convince readers, Flayhart (history, political science, and philosophy, Delaware State U.) adds groundings, collisions, engine explosions, and fires to his list of reasons why crossing the Atlantic by ship can be a dangerous business. In these 21 disaster tales, Flayhart describes enough incidents of inept navigators, distracted lookouts, and a sociopathic killers prowling among the staterooms to show that choking down airline food may be a good alternative.
