Very interesting. Someone could turn that into a good novel.

Thanks for doing the “homework” for us… that was most interesting. So ships intrigue you, do they? I didn’t know that.

Thanks very much for doing this interesting background research on the ship. Here is an additional piece of information: among the parts of the wrecked ship that were washed ashore was the barometer. It is today imbedded in the wall of a house in the port of Camariñas and---it's working. Must have had a bad day in 1890!!

I say become a landlubber for your own safety! I would go insane to wrecked that many times! Have you read the story of Captain James Riley, 'Sufferings in Africa' a fantastic novel of his shipwreck and the journey afterward! Shelly

Yes, he does seem to bring bad luck with him ... a very interesting story though. Reminds me of those drivers who go really slowly and infuriate everyone... then say they have never had an accident (but that they've
seen plenty...)

I love this post. Yes, I wonder more than just whether she allowed him on board again... Weird, no?
