The castaways of Batavia appears much like a condensed history of the shipwreck and the author refers us to the detailed account of Mike Dash "The archipelago of heretics." There remains a taste of too little. Not even a teaser book Dash?
Prosper is the name of the boat on which embeds the author, one of the last tuna sailboats all active at the time.
We thus find in the second part a story from notes they had taken at the time, it adds a few pages the meager ..... first story.
It is very pleasant to read a very well transcribed atmosphere.
But as often with the Breton caricature it borders a taiseuses wine pockets crew, even if it is being notified of the last boats to practice this fishing less productive and therefore less profitable sailing, difficulty in recruiting seafarers on this practice was that the Boss was recovering a bit battered life.
For those who like this kind of old fishing story, I advise fishermen of Iceland Pierre Loti.
