K. Loney's classic works on Australian maritime history, documenting the many shipwrecks that occurred along Victoria's notoriously dangerous south-west coastline between Point Lonsdale and Portland. Drawing upon official records, marine court inquiries, newspaper reports and contemporary accounts, Loney reconstructs the stories of vessels that met disaster along this rugged stretch of coast, an area long feared by mariners for its reefs, storms, strong currents and hidden hazards. The result is a compelling record of tragedy, survival and human endurance on one of Australia's most dramatic coastlines.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     The book examines numerous wrecks spanning the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, detailing the circumstances that led to each disaster and the often heroic efforts made to save passengers and crew. Loney combines careful historical research with an engaging narrative style, bringing to life the captains, sailors, rescuers and coastal communities whose lives were shaped by these maritime catastrophes. Particular attention is given to the infamous waters surrounding Cape Otway and the Shipwreck Coast, where countless vessels were lost while attempting to navigate the treacherous approach to Melbourne and other Victorian ports.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     First published in 1967 and subsequently revised and enlarged, this 1974 fourth edition incorporates additional material and updated research, reflecting Loney's continuing efforts to preserve Australia's maritime heritage.
