Description

Fascinating, never–before–documented stories of the worst shipwrecks on the Pacific Coast during the golden age of coastal transportation, 1854 to 1929

In this intriguing chronicle, author Robert Belyk closely examines ten significant maritime disasters that occurred during one of the most turbulent eras in the history of travel. Discover the real–life drama endured by those caught in the terrifying midst of disaster at seaand the real causes behind the tragedies. Vividly re–created and painstakingly researched, the shipwrecks accounted for here include:

  • 1854: the Yankee Blade runs aground off Point Arguello, California.Twenty–eight passengers lose their lives.
  • 1875: The old side–wheeler Pacific rams another passenger ship off the coast of Cape Flattery, Washington. Two hundred and seventy–seven people perish when her rotting hull gives way.
  • 1906: The Valencia strikes a reef off the Washington coastline. Before dozens of dazed onlookers on the shore, the ship goes down, taking 117 passengers and crew with her.
