Mayday Off the Wild Coast

by Pike, Andrew

CAD $37.95

In August 1991, holiday-makers boarded the Oceanos at East London, South Africa, for a cruise to Durban. Despite a dire forecast, the ship set sail and was soon overwhelmed by hurricane-force winds and giant seas. When it began to sink, crew members took to the lifeboats, leaving the ship’s entertainers to organize panicking passengers. Meanwhile, the South African Air Force attempted their biggest air rescue ever. A member of the legal investigation into the disaster, maritime lawyer Andrew Pike recreates the drama and extraordinary heroism of the event.
