London: The Alison Press/Secker & Warburg, 1987. The corvette La Vaillante was built in Bayonne in 1796. In 1798 she was captured by Captain Sir Edward Pellew, renamed the Danae and given a new young Captain, Lord Proby. In March 1800, in London, The Times reported the French recapture of the Danae following a mutiny among her crew. Dudley Pope , the distinguished naval historian and acknowledged as one of the world's finest sea writers, has pieced together the story of the mutiny from British documents and the French Naval archives at Brest. The whole curious story is told by an expert on naval history of those brutal years who can see the human motives between the official lines. Contents include: Author's Preface, 18 chapters, Notes and Bibiography, Index and a two-page map spread. Remainder dot to bottom edge. Illustrated price-clipped dust jacket.. ISBN: 0-436-37751-9.
