Marked for Misfortune: An Epic tale of Shipwreck, human Endeavor and Survival in the Age of Sail by Jean Hood (First Edition) (2003)
Language: English
Published by Conway Maritime Press, London, 2003
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. From the jacket: "On the night of 19 August 1792 the East India Company ship Winterton struck a reef off the coast of Madagascar. As the ship broke up and her precious cargo of silver dollars was lost to the surf, the passengers and crew were forced to take to the sea in improvised rafts. Traumatised, dehydrated and exhausted, some of them spent days at sea before they finally reached the shore. One of the senior surviving officers, John Dale, organised a daring rescue mission in the Winterton's one remaining boat. Without proper charts and at the mercy of the currents, Dale set out with a small crew towards the Mozambique mainland. With luck, he hoped to return with a ship in a few weeks. Months later, and after a torturous trek into the hinterland of Mozambique, he returned alone to be confronted by a miserable sight. Climate, living conditions, and a mysterious fever had all taken their toll on the survivors. But their misfortunes did not end there. The strained relationship between Britain and France following the French Revolution had by this time erupted into war and this was going to play a crucial role in their attempts to reach Calcutta, and ultimately in Dale's efforts to return home." Very clean copy. Hard cover edition with dustjacket. 288 pages. Dimensions: 5.25" by 8". Published by Conway Maritime Press, London. 1st printing, 2003. B&W illustrations. B&W photographs.

Seller: S. Howlett-West Books (Member ABAA), Modesto, CA, U.S.A.

The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket is crisp and clean. "Some four months into her voyage the Winterton entered the Indian Ocean, and it was whilst she was passing through the Mozambique Channel at 2 a. M. On 20 August that she struck a rock-strewn reef some seven miles off the western shore of Madagascar. The guns were thrown over the side and part of the cargo was jettisoned, but within a couple of hours Captain Dundas had to take the unenviable decision to cut away her masts. At daybreak her yawl was despatched inshore to solicit assistance, but any hopes of Dundas using her other boats were lost that evening when the long boat, cutter and jolly boat were smashed to smithereens by the sea breaking over the ship. On the 21st the yawl returned to the wreck, but conscious that the heaving sea might thrust her into the stranded Winterton Dundas ordered her back to shore. That night the situation deteriorated to such an extent that the ship began to break up, and at 6 a. M. On 22 August Captain Dundas ushered some sixty-odd people including all the female passengers on to the safety of the poop deck with what provisions he could muster. The rest of the men were ordered to take their place in the mizzen-chains, and it would later be reported that the ultimate sacrifice was made as Dundas ordered the poop deck to be cut away. Three hours later the ship broke up into four pieces, and as the buoyant poop deck drifted slowly ashore the starboard side of the ship rolled over and the body of Captain Dundas was seen to float out of the quarter galley. Some forty other passengers and crew also met their death as the ship broke up, including the first mate and three young women." (from website: morethannelson).

The Earls of Essex: A Tale of Noble Misfortune
Seller: The Anthropologists Closet, West Des Moines, IA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New hardcover in a new dust jacket. Pages are clean and free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (6.25 x 1 x 9.25 inches) Includes a bibliography, photo plates, and figures. 224 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. This is the dramatic, often erratic, and at times unbelievable story of the fortunes and misfortunes over 900 years to the present day of one of England's premier aristocratic families, who in 1661 were given the Earldom of Essex by Charles II. This fascinating, previously untold story begins just after the Norman Conquest with a Hugh Capel in AD 1100 and ends at the present day, with Frederick Paul de Vere Capell, 11th Earl of Essex and the future heir presumptive, William Jennings Capell, a former shelf stacker, who lives in Yuba City, California. Over a period of 400 years the Capell family built a fortune, and over the next 500 years lost it due to an incredible number of mistakes, bad judgment calls, and misfortunes.
