The Hole in the Wall: A Snapshot of Life on Board a Collier Brigantine

The Hole in the Wall: A Snapshot of Life on Board a Collier Brigantine

Fred Cooper
3.7/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In this extremely informative book the author sketches out life on board a sailing collier brigantine and in a maritime harbour during the Victoria era. Anyone with maritime ancestors who worked along the east coast of England may well find their ancestors listed here on ships visiting the port of Seaham Harbour in County Durham. Each chapter of the book takes the reader on a different journey building their knowledge of harbour life; the coast; the sea; the sailing ships; the town of Seaham Harbour and the thrills and perils of a mariners life.

The novelette that follows then embraces all of the themes that were explored in the earlier chapters and ends in a tale of disaster with an unexpected twist of irony. The book demonstrates so very clearly how fragile the lives of mariners and the ships in which they sailed were in the Victorian era.

Experience a fresh and real perspective of seafarers and their lifestyle in the 19th Century and the perils facing mariners on board sailing ships.
