IN PERIL ON THE SEA, Shipwrecks of Nova Scotia by Robert C. Parsons, includes scores of unique, mysterious and strange shipwreck stories from many famous Nova Scotia sites such as Lunenburg, Halifax, Shelburne, Canso, Sydney, Yarmouth and many more.
Arranged cronologically, these tales of adventure range from 1873 through to the 1990s. Robert Parsons relates the dangers and hardships endured by Nova Scotia schooner men and by those who found themselves wrecked along the Nova Scotian shores where trecherous seas in a high-rish occupation tested the courage, wit and endurance of seamen. But theirs was an idomitable will to survive as related in this book of ships, wrecks and sailors.
