Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The Coal Was There for Burning; C. H. Milsom; Marine Media Management, London, 1975. From the blurb Rushing through a pitch-black night bound for a port none of her navigating officers had seen before, and with her captain fast asleep in his room, the trans-Atlantic White Star liner Atlantic ran at full speed on to the rocky coast of Nova Scotia. The date was All Fool's Day, 1873, but it was a cruel joke which Fate played on the Atlantic's 933 passengers and crew for she should have been nowhere near Nova Scotia. The passengers were looking forward to landing in New York and starting the better life which they expected to find in the New World, but the voyage had been plagued with bad weather all the way from Liverpool and the chief engineer now feared that the ship was running short of coal. Halifax was the nearest port at which to refuel and on the engineer's advice the master altered course. It was a decision which was to cost the lives of 562 people, including every woman and child on board except one a boy of 12. The disaster was caused by negligent navigation, of that there is no doubt; but could the Atlantic have carried on safely to New York or, as the master feared, would she have been left drifting and powerless on the Nantucket shoals? This book, 77pages, is in fine condition in a fine dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap. There is a small, neat presentation on the half-title. Seller Inventory # 2164a
