Men Against the Sea by Charles Nordhoff & James Norman Hall (24th, Nov 1949). A5, Paperback, 184 pages. Cover bit worn. Book inside in readable condition. Pages yellowed with age.
Historical Fiction - Unsurpassed as a gripping tale of historical adventure, Men Against the Sea is the epic account of the eighteen loyal men set adrift on the high seas after the mutiny on the Bounty.
With Captain Bligh at the helm of a 23-foot open launch, the loyal sailors are alone on uncharted waters, struggling to survive on scant rations and taking pains to avoid war canoes and inhabited islands under cover of night. Their 3,600-mile voyage from the island of Tofoa in the Friendly Archipelago to the Dutch East Indies remains to this day one of the greatest feats of courage and endurance in maritime history.
