Items related to Rescue and Recovery: Iskra's Ordeal in the Hebrides
Synopsis
Frank Mulville has sailed Iskra through countless hazards on his voyages around the globe, but none were more dangerous than this. While off the Scottish coast, a gale tore skra from her mooring and cast her on a rocky shore where she was badly damaged and holed below the waterline. Frank's account of the disaster and their last-minute rescue makes exciting reading; equally gripping is the story of Iskra's salvage and rebuilding.

Review
Twice a winner of the British Best Book of the Sea award, Frank [Mulville] recently published his ninth work, Rescue and Recovery. His books tell the stories of a cruising life: his experiences aboard a torpedoed trading ship during World War II; of being shipwrecked; of the joys and sorrows of single-handing; and of his postwar climb from window cleaner to salesman and cookery demonstrator, to journalist, to manufacturing entrepreneur in London. --Excerpted from Cruising World, March 1998
