1828 FAMOUS Shipwreck Narrative of Commerce James Riley Arabs Morocco Africa
"My aim [of this Narrative] has been merely to record, in plain and unvarnished language, scenes in which I was a principal actor, of real and heart-appalling distresses."
– James Riley, Narrative
A rare printing of Captain James Riley's account of the shipwreck of the American ship Commerce.
In 1815, James Riley survived a disastrous shipwreck and was enslaved by Arabs in Morocco.
