This book examines 300 years of shipwrecks around the British coast and how the local communities took everything they could from the floating wreckage. Bathurst looks at the myths, realities and superstitions of shipwrecks and uncovers the darker side of life on Britain's shores.

 

Ships were often wrecked in storms but others were lured on to rocks by false lights. Often the contraband was all that kept small impoverished villages viable.
