Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores some of the many maritime disasters that occurred during the 19th century, providing an unprecedented insight into the reality of life at sea during a time of great maritime exploration and trade. The author skillfully groups these tragic events based on their underlying causes, allowing the reader to see how the introduction of new technologies, such as steam power, led to a new set of risks for those who sailed the high seas. The book opens with a vivid and harrowing account of the burning of the steamship Amazon, a tragic event that took the lives of 104 passengers and crew, vividly bringing to life the chaos and horror of being trapped on a burning, sinking vessel and demonstrating how little control humans have in the face of natural disasters. It also discusses the foundering of the London, the sinking of which was due to overcrowding rather than mechanical failure, highlighting the human factor in maritime disasters. This book is not simply a catalog of tragic events though, but also an exploration of the social and cultural aspects of maritime disasters, and the ways in which society deals with the loss of life at sea. Through its detailed accounts of individual disasters, it provides a valuable and fascinating insight into this largely forgotten aspect of 19th-century social and maritime history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282664084_0
