Description

Praised in Europe being an instant-classic, We, the Drowned may be the tale of the port city of Marstal, Denmark, whose occupants sailed the world in the mid-nineteenth-century to the finish of the 2Nd World War. The book tells of boats damaged and inflated in conflicts, of locations of violence and horror that continue steadily to attract each era; you will find cannibals below, prophetic dreams, shrunken heads, forbidden interests, and remarkable survivals. The end result is just a amazing seafaring story in the vein of Conrad and Melville, a gripping tale covering commercial development, the decades of search and development, the crucible of the very first 1 / 2 of the twentieth-century, and primarily, the ocean.
