Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. The tale of the ill-fated HMS Wager gripped the public's imagination, feeding its taste for dramatic accounts of survival against the odds. Part of George Anson's squadron that had been sent to harass Spanish ships in the Pacific, she was wrecked after rounding Cape Horn in 1741. The majority of the survivors, led by ship's gunner John Bulkeley, mutinied against their irascible and unpredictable captain and chose to make their own way home in what would become one of the most hazardous journeys ever recorded. Their journey took them over 2,000 miles in an open boat through ferocious seas, enduring starvation and extreme privation. Two years after the disaster, the thirty remaining men arrived back in England. Bulkeley and ship's carpenter John Cummins published this account in 1743. Also reissued in this series is the 1768 account of John Byron, who had been midshipman aboard the Wager.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the harrowing experiences of British sailors aboard the Wager, a ship that was part of Commodore Anson's squadron during the War of the Austrian Succession. Setting sail in 1740 with dreams of riches and glory, the crew soon faces the harsh realities of a perilous voyage around Cape Horn and into the South Seas. Through the detailed journal entries of two seamen, we witness the escalating challenges faced by the crew: treacherous storms, dwindling supplies, and the constant threat of enemy encounters. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when the Wager is tragically shipwrecked off the coast of Patagonia. Stranded in a desolate and unforgiving environment, the survivors grapple with hunger, disease, and internal conflict as they desperately seek a way to return home. This firsthand account offers a glimpse into the human cost of war and exploration, revealing the resilience and resourcefulness of individuals pushed to their absolute limits. By chronicling the Wager's ill-fated journey, the author sheds light on the complexities of leadership, loyalty, and survival in the face of unimaginable adversity. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit, even in the darkest of times. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
