The Wreck of the "Grosvenor"

The Wreck of the "Grosvenor"

'The Wreck of the â€œGrosvenorâ€' tells of the adventures of Edward Royle, the second mate on a sailing ship travelling from England to South America in the nineteenth century.

With a hard-hearted captain and a mutinous crew, this was never going to be an easy voyage. When Royle spots a vessel foundering at sea, the trouble really starts and he is forced to chose between duty and conscience.

'The Wreck of the â€œGrosvenorâ€' is perhaps William Clark Russellâ€™s most famous book. John Sutherland, Emeritus Professor of Modern English Literature at University College London described this as â€œthe most popular mid-Victorian melodrama of adventure and heroism at seaâ€.

This new edition from Solis Press of the 1877 bestseller has been completely revised and includes illustrations from the first US publication. The book also features a section about the author and his life, written specially for this edition.
