This was really good. I‘m sure I have read snippets about these other ships but I don‘t recall details. This was very detailed from those points of view. Leading up to the disaster, this also looked at brief biographies of the captains and a bit of history of the ship/cruise and wireless industries. There was also a close look at the inquiries afterward, both in the US and in Britain to get to the bottom of what happened that night
an amazing and intriguing thesis on the role of inter-regional communication and rumor in transmitting revolutionary ideas across the atlantic and through the entire greater caribbean!! this book really made me think about how i want to approach this era as a history teacher by connecting the lineages of the american, french & haitian revolutions. ⭐️ 5/5 ⭐️
Not a surprise that a woman who rowed the Atlantic for three months would be an introvert. I really appreciate her suggestion that unscripted social engagements should come with distress beacons.
Lordy, it‘s getting harder to feel like a free spirit over here in the U.S. but if Helen could do it I guess I‘ll try.
McClure, the first woman to the South Pole, decides to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Her story is filled with both beauty and terror. Her communication equipment stops working so she doesn‘t realize she‘s in the midst of several hurricanes. I couldn‘t put this book down. Her life story, interspersed throughout, provides insight into the brilliance and strength of the author. It‘s quite the read.
This book won a Christopher Award. Am I the only person not to know about this award? I‘ve read some of the titles that were awarded prizes and agree with their selection so now I have a whole new list of books to check out!
