Erebus: The Story of a Ship

Descriere & specificații

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER n n In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, HMS Erebus undertook two of the most ambitious naval expeditions of all time. n n On the first, she ventured further south than any human had ever been. On the second, she vanished with her 129-strong crew in the wastes of the Canadian Arctic. n n Her fate remained a mystery for over 160 years. n n Then, in 2014, she was found. n n This is her story. n _______________ n n BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK n n `Beyond terrific . . .
