Translated by Logan Masterworks Shipwreck books about the Titanicare hardly in short supply, but most don’t mention – let alone focus on – Joseph Laroche, one of only three Black passengers on board the ill-fated ship. So who was Joseph Laroche? And where was he going? With racial tensions what they were in 1912, how did a Black man wind up on boar...

What are the odds of two crews being shipwrecked on the same island, in the same year? Pretty slim, yet that’s what happened to the men serving aboard the Grafton and the Invercauldin 1864. They found themselves marooned on opposite ends of Auckland Island, almost three hundred miles south of New Zealand and in one of the most remote parts of the w...

The ship was on its way to Liverpool, England when she was tragically hit...

In 1991, the crew found themselves at the center of a lethal maelstrom of 100-foot-high waves off the coast of North America. ...

What caused the Squalusto sink? And more importantly, were the 33 crew members still alive? The Terrible Hoursrecoun...

Translated by Randolph Hogan While author Gabriel García Márquez is usually able to write concise and gripping novellas, the full title of this story is a bit absurd and basically sums up the full story: The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor: Who Drifted on a Liferaft for Ten Days Without Food or Water, Was Proclaimed a National Hero, Kissed by Beauty ...
“El cuarto se llama Estevanico, es negro alárabe, natural de Azamor.” The fourth [survivor] is named Estevanico, a Black Arab from Azemmour [in Morocco]. This is all Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca wrote of Estevanico, a Black Arab slave, in his expedition notes and journals. Yet, he was one of only four survivors of the 1527 Pánfilo de Narváez expediti...
