Wreck of the Medusa: Mutiny, Murder, and Survival on the High Seas
- Used Book in Good Condition
In 1816, a fleet of ships left France to accept the British hand-over of the port of Saint-Louis in Senegal. Among them was the frigate Medusa. A month after it set sail, she shank miles off of Africaâ€™s west coast, leaving the passengers to flee on lifeboats and a raft cobbled together from parts of the sinking ship. After a failed attempt by those in the lifeboats to tow the raft, itâ€”and the more than 150 people aboardâ€”were abandoned. This is the horrific tale, filled with suicide, murder, and cannibalism, of those left behind.
