I have co-authored a book, with Terry Moyle, titled, The Wreck
of the Bay of Panama, 10 March 1891. It occurred during one of the
most intense and devastating blizzards to hit the southwest coast of England.
In the book we describe some of the effects of the storm and
details about: the history, last voyage and wreck of the ship
along the shore of Cornwall; the locale; the rescue effort put forth; and the
backgrounds of the people involved, including crew members and rescuers; and and
the heroic response from the Cornish communities of St. Keverne, Coverack,
Prothoustock and Porthallow..
I published an article about the blizzard in the March/April 2021 issue of Your Genealogy. That periodical, published by Moorshead
Magazines Ltd., was merged with Internet Genealogy last fall.
If you are interested in marine history or natural disasters
this may be something you might like to consider having on your bookshelf.
The soft-cover book is available directly from Terry for
£12.50. Postage to USA and Canada is £9.00. For more information contact Terry
