Synopsis
A long forgotten tale gets a new life asthis bookreveals the truestory of the 18th-century shipwreck cannibalism scandalDuringthe fierce winter of 1710, 14 Englishmen had taken refuge on Boon Island, a sparse 100-yard long stretch of rock, without food or adequate shelter, uncertain of when or if they would be rescued. They endured for 24 days. An attempt toescapefailed and four men died. Facing starvation, their captain, John Dean, gave the order to butcher and eat a member of the crew. Dean's decision fended off starvation and sustained his crew until rescue. John Dean first emerged an unlikely hero, but soon thereafteran alternative version of events began to circulate. The First Mate painted Dean as a murderous fraudster, tyrant, and an enthusiastic consumer of human flesh. Centering on the scandal that defined him, this booktells the forgotten story of John Dean; criminal, mercenary, gentleman, diplomat, and cannibal.", In August 1710, the Nottingham Galley set sail for New England. It did not reach its destination, as fierce weather struck and the fourteen men on board were shipwrecked on Boon Island, a sparse 100yd stretch of rock. Without food or adequate shelter, they were uncertain when or if they would be rescued. Two men died of exposure; two more perished in a failed attempt to reach shore. As the situation became more perilous, Captain John Deane gave the order to butcher and eat a deceased member of the crew. This bold decision fended off starvation and sustained the crew until their rescue. John Deane emerged an unlikely hero. But shortly afterwards an alternative version of events began to circulate. The first mate, Christopher Langman, painted Deane as a violent fraudster, a tyrant and an enthusiastic consumer of human flesh. The scandal forced Deane to flee his homeland and begin a life of misadventure that saw him fight as a mercenary for Peter the Great and spy for Robert Walpole.The Shipwreck Cannibals tells the story of a scandalous and grotesque forgotten episode in British maritime history and its bizarre aftermath.

- c***e (437)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéA+++ seller. MY post office ruined the book my shoving into my mailbox when it didn’t fit. I messaged the seller asking if they knew how I could file a claim with my local usps and they immediately messaged me back. Seller was willing to send me another book but no others were in stock so instead refunded me the full price, no questions asked, even tho they were not at fault. Much appreciated.
