For all its romance, the tallship renaissance has a tragic side. Working from official documents, survivor and expert interviews, and his own tallship experience, Parrott recreates the losses of five sailtraining vessels: the 316foot Pamir (1957), 117foot Albatross (1961), 117foot Marques (1984), 137foot Pride of Baltimore (1986), and 125foot Maria Asumpta (1995). He vividly recreates each final voyage and then explores the roles played by ship stability, structural integrity, weather, human error, and standards of risk in tragedies at sea.
