  • Australia’s Worst Shipwrecks – Chris Halls

    Australia’s Worst Shipwrecks – Chris Halls

    A difficult thing to define worst shipwreck – most lives lost, largest boat sunk etc etc. Chris Hall however has made a good selection .. with a bit of breadth … historical relevance is the key we believe.

    Published by Rigby in 1978. Octavo, 157 pages, illustrated. Fine condition.

    Includes the early Dutch ship the Zuytdorp off Western Australia and then a big move geographically and in time to King island, where there have been almost too many shipwreck to count. The tragedy of the Star of Greece and the Quetta in the far north. Ghost ships appear near the end and add a bit of intrigue ..

    A good roundup of the most famous wrecks over the ages on the Australian coastline.
