About this product

Product Information

In 1852, the British troopship H.M.S. Birkenhead was traveling to South Africa when she hit a ledge and foundered. On board were more than seven hundred men, women, and children. With only twenty minutes left before she would sink, the decision was made to place all women and children aboard the few life boats. The men would remain behind and face the man-eating sharks circling the disaster. Hundreds of men drowned or were eaten alive in full view of their children, but not a single woman or child perished that day. In past years, this story was known by every schoolboy and girl. Now, you can learn about the Birkenhead through this stirring collection of survivor accounts.

Second-hand, but quite acceptable. My niece, who is now becoming keenly interested in shipwreck narratives, is going to love this heartwrenching tale.

  • I recommend this book highly!

    My husband and I read this book together and it was very thought provoking. The courage and bravery of these men should be remembered forever. I can see why this story has been told and retold for generations... I believe it still should be. Buy it - you won't be dissapointed.
