Publisher's Synopsis

""A Narrative Of The Loss Of His Majesty�������s Packet: The Lady Hobart, On An Island Of Ice In The Atlantic Ocean"" is a book written by William Dorset Fellowes and published in 1803. The book is a first-hand account of the tragic loss of the Lady Hobart, a ship belonging to the British Royal Navy, which was wrecked on an island of ice in the Atlantic Ocean. Fellowes, who was a passenger on board the ship, provides a detailed and harrowing account of the events leading up to the ship's demise, including the treacherous weather conditions and the efforts made by the crew to save the vessel. He also describes the aftermath of the disaster, including the rescue of the survivors and the recovery of the ship's cargo.The book is not only a gripping tale of survival and tragedy, but also provides valuable insights into the dangers faced by sailors in the 19th century. Fellowes' vivid descriptions of the harsh conditions and the bravery of the crew make this book a compelling read for anyone interested in maritime history or adventure stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
