The golden wreck

by Alexander McKee

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £26.50
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The effects of the hurricane of October 1859 were to shock the nation. 133 ships were sunk, 90 were badly damaged and almost 800 people lost their lives.
More than half of those that perished were on one ship - The Royal Charter.
After two months at sea voyaging more than 12,000 miles from the Australian goldfields, she was just hours away from her home port of Liverpool, when she was wrecked on the savage rocks of Moelfre, Anglesey.
Many of her passengers were returning home with the fruits of their labours - GOLD!
The worst shipwreck in Welsh history, this is the story of the Royal Charter...and her gold.
