About this title

Synopsis

In 1980 the remains of a three-masted British barque were discovered in one hundred meters of water south of Beechley Island in the Canadian Arctic. Three years later, in May of 1983, a diving crew led by Dr. Joe MacInnis actually set foot on deck of the Breadalbane, the northernmost shipwreck known to man. This is a revised edition of The Bredalbane Adventure, originally published in 1982.
