A Brave Vessel: The True Tale of the Castaways Who Rescued Jamestown and Inspired Shakespeare's "The Tempest" Tapa dura - 2009
de Hobson Woodward
A gripping tale of shipwreck andsurvival that changed the fate ofthe colonies and enriched ourliterary legacy
In 1609, aspiring writer William Strachey set sailaboard the Sea Venture, bound for the New World.Caught in a hurricane, the ship separated from its fleetand wrecked on uninhabited Bermuda, a bountifulisland paradise its passengers would inhabit for nearlya year before reaching their intended destination, thefamine-stricken colony of Jamestown. Strachey's meticulousaccount of the wreck, the castaways' time onBermuda, and their arrival in a devastated Jamestownwas read by his contemporaries and remains amongthe most vivid writings of the early colonial period.Following the life of this ordinary man, HobsonWoodward tells one of the neglected but defining storiesof America's founding.
Strachey had literary aspirations and sought tocapitalize on his epic experience, but his writings didnot bring him the acclaim he sought. Only in the handsof another William would his tale of the wreck and itsaftermath make history as The Tempest. A Brave Vesselis the fascinating account of a near-miss in the settlingof Virginia, the true story behind one of Shakespeare'sgreat plays, and the tragedy of the man who failedas an author but who contributed to the creation of amasterpiece.
