## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ courage and determination
*by A***R on May 11, 2025*

A very interesting read. I was entertained with the story and knowledge from the first chapter. A definite must read for anyone interested in a bit of history and the story of these brave men and their survival.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly Interesting
*by T***W on March 28, 2021*

In the 1800s the sub-Antarctic islands called The Aucklands were a shipwreck story being written again and again and again. Eventually the New Zealand government would even install a provisioned castaway hut on the main island due to the number of shipwrecks occurring. Being shipwrecked on these islands was not your sandy beach, blue sky and coconuts story. This was a very inhospitable place (weather and terrain) that took extraordinary strength and will to survive. The castaway hut would come in handy, however, not for the main shipwreck stories of this book. The castaway hut would be, in part, a response to these.This is the story of near simultaneous shipwreck group 1 of the ship Grafton, and shipwreck 2 of the ship Ivercauld. These two groups of castaways would never see each other or know each other were there. History would show them to be a contrast of one group working together to stave off hunger,depression and exposure (Grafton) while the other group being largely aimless, poorly led, where some turned sub human in their actions(Ivercauld).These are their true stories to the best of first hand account, history and recollection provide. It’s amazingly fascinating. The author did great work in picking the subject and researching the topic. In that regards it is 5 stars. Unfortunately the presentation of the stories and/or the cohesiveness of the writing just didn’t fully capture me. At points it felt like I was reading a chopped and dry repost. On this front I gave it 3 stars.I’ll definitely read this author again (again I was wowed by the story itself) but I hope her writing better captures my attention.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To Trust and Cooperate is to Live
*by B***S on June 16, 2025*

This fantastic true story confirms that men can overcome what would appear to be insurmountable odds if they stick together snd trust each other. It’s also an extraordinary story of seafaring life before steam engines, detailing how men chaptered the forces of wind and currents, while battling storms without the benefits of advanced technology. A great read. Highly recommended.
