Story
The small ship making the Liverpool-to-New York trip in the early months of 1856 carried mail, crates of dry goods, and more than 100 passengers, mostly Irish emigrants. Suddenly, an iceberg tore the ship asunder, and five lifeboats were lowered. As four lifeboats drifted into the fog and icy water, never to be heard from again, the last boat wrenched away from the sinking ship with a few blankets, some water and biscuits, and 13 souls. Only one would survive. This is his story.

Tragic, interesting and informative.

This book mixes historic factual recounting with quality story telling, which makes for a very intriguing and tragic read. I recommend this title to all who are interested in the not so triumphant side of maritime history.
