Disasters at Sea

Andrew Donkin – From deadly fog to cannon fire, read the stories of five doomed voyages. Read about the “invincible” Spanish Armada, a fleet of 132 ships that set out to invade England in 1588, returning home with only 69 ships; the Jeanette, which set out for the North Pole in 1879 and got trapped in the ice; and the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989.
