Star of Greece - For Profit and Glory

Autor Paul W Simpson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2020
IRELAND'S GREATEST CLIPPER SHIP - Built at Belfast in 1868 the Star of Greece was an iron clipper ship built by Harland & Wolff of Ireland for merchants JP Corry & Co. For 20 years she plied the waters between Britain, India and Australia before coming to grief on Friday, July 13th 1888, at Port Willunga. Her destruction and the loss of 18 lives left many unanswered questions. After two high-level inquiries blame for the wreck was laid squarely at the feet of her master, Captain Henry Russell Harrower. Stories persist to this day proclaiming that the man had been drunk at the time of the ship's loss. The tangle of truths, cover-ups and lies, is much more complicated. Star of Greece - For Profit & Glory tells the story of not just the ship but also tales of the rise, glory days and fall of the Red Heart Line of clipper ships. Here now is the definitive edition with new research and photographs.
