<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Shipwrecked!</i> tells the harrowing tales from 14 maritime disasters spanning three centuries.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For readers who relish the image of clinging to a sinking makeshift raft while fighting off sword-wielding and delirious mutineers wrenching the last cask of water from a sailor's sun-scorched hands (while sharks circle in famished anticipation), <i>Shipwrecked! Adventures and Disasters at Sea</i> is an irresistible read. A heady voyage through human suffering at the hands of unforgiving oceans, cruel captains, and implacable fate, this latest collection of Evan Balkan's impeccably researched true adventures details 14 major maritime disasters. Included are such legendary stories as the 1629 maiden voyage of the <i>Batavia</i> that ended in mutiny and murder, and the dramatic destruction of the majestic three-masted barquentine <i>Endurance</i> in ice-clogged Antarctic waters in 1912. A vast spectrum of human emotion and activity is featured in these exciting profiles, from deadly incompetence and brutish cannibalism to surprising self-sacrifice and quiet heroism.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Evan Balkan teaches writing at the Community College of Baltimore County. His fiction and nonfiction, mostly in the areas of travel and outdoor recreation, have been published throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, England, and Australia. A graduate of Towson, George Mason, and Johns Hopkins universities, he is also the author of Vanished! Explorers Forever Lost, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Baltimore, and Best in Tent Camping: Maryland (all published by Menasha Ridge Press). He lives in Lutherville, Maryland, with his wife, Shelly, and daughters, Amelia and Molly.
