Disasters in Trinidad's Western Seas - Fr. De Vertueil and Kevin Kenny

Disasters in Trinidad's Western Seas provides an account of a number of disasters along with background information, which is of particular interest in giving us an understanding of what life in Trinidad was like at that time and how much it resembled or differed from today.  It presents us with a whole gamut of emotions: money mania, determination, ingenuity, resilience and human sacrifice.
