Hardback. Condizione: New. *A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK One woman. One ship. One astonishing true story.'Mazzeo has written a white-knuckle ride of a book.' Daily Mail'A rousing read.' The Daily Telegraph'Hear the wind whistle through the ropes, taste the salt spray and feel the roll of the ship. A true-life epic.' Peter Fretwell, author of Antarctic Atlas___ Summer 1856. Nineteen-year-old Mary Ann Patten and her husband, Joshua, are young and ambitious. Both from New England seafaring families, they have already completed their first global voyage with Joshua as captain. Their dream of building a home and a family is almost within reach, but the price of that freedom is one last dangerous transit - a high-stakes race to deliver supplies to the other side of the country. And there is no alternative but to sail all the way around.Yet as their ship leaves New York, navigating towards the jagged coastline of South America, Joshua falls sick, confined to his bunk and delirious. The treacherous first mate is imprisoned in the brig for insubordination. With no obvious option for a new captain, Mary Ann steps up to take the helm. Within days, she has put down a mutiny. Now she must attempt to steer this 216-foot ship, laden with the modern equivalent of $11 million of cargo, through Drake's Passage and around Cape Horn - the most treacherous waters in the world. To the Edge of the World is the true story of one woman who, when faced with impossible odds, would do all that was necessary to survive.___ 'In all non-fiction maritime literature, this is a story without parallel.' Mensun Bound, author of The Ship Beneath the Ice'What a breathtaking journey! A spellbinding triumph of storytelling.' Marie Benedict, author of The Queens of Crime'An epic tale of courage, fortitude, and grit.' Siddharth Kara, author of The Zorg. Codice articolo LU-9781783969173

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Set in the summer of 1856 in the midst of a ship race to deliver supplies to the California Gold Rush captains wife Mary Ann Patten is forced to take the helm from her husband. Within days she has put down a mutiny and must attempt to steer a 216' clipper ship laden with the modern equivalent of $11 million dollars of cargo through Drake's Passage and around Cape Horn the most treacherous waters in the world. Caught in an 18-day gale, Mary Ann makes the only choice she can to save the ship and her crew. She turns to run out of the storm and straight into the wilds of Antarctica. In doing so she becomes both the first woman to command a merchant vessel and among the first women to navigate through this dangerous and magical frozen landscape. Drawing on the author's first-hand 2022 expedition to Antarctica in search of Mary Ann's route, as well as new archival research into nineteenth-century womens maritime writing, this thrilling adventure blows apart the well-worn image of the meek, retiring nineteenth-century wife. This is a true story of astonishing courage and ambition. An astonishing maritime adventure: the true story of a Captains wife forced to take the helm in the most perilous seas, beating the odds in Antarctica to save herself, her husband and their ships mutinous crew. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781783969173
