520    This is the astounding story of HMS Wager, driven ashore 
       in foul weather onto the inhospitable coast of Patagonian 
       Chile in 1741. Shipwreck was followed by murder, 
       starvation, mutiny, and the fearful ordeal of 36 survivors
       out of about 140 men. Some were enslaved, some defected; 
       many drowned. The captain shot one of his officers. There 
       was an epic open-boat voyage of 2500 nautical miles 
       through the world's most hostile seas, probably the 
       greatest castaway voyage in the annals of the sea, and the
       least known. Midshipman Byron, the grandfather of the poet,
       was prominent among the survivors. The story is placed in 
       its historical context, using eye-witness accounts where 
       possible, with some previously unpublished material. It 
       finishes with the finding of the wreck by a British 
       expedition in 2006. Foreword written by HRH The Duke of 
       Edinburgh.
