Product Description
The Wager (Paperback)
If you've been meaning to read The Wager, this paperback edition is a good place to start.
On 28th January 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s ship the Wager , a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain.
About the Book
- While chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon, the Wager was wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia
- The crew, marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing 2,500 miles of storm-wracked seas
- They were greeted as heroes
- Then, six months later, another, even more decrepit, craft landed on the coast of Chile
- This boat contained just three castaways and they had a very different story to tell
- The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes – they were mutineers
