Hammond Innes

The wreck of the 'Mary Deare'

The battered hulk of a huge ship looms out of the stinging spray of a furious gale. Only one man, half-mad, remains aboard, working without sleep or sustenance to save her from sinking. But this man is no hero, and this ship was not meant to be saved. As Hammond Innes' classic tale moves from desperate struggles on the sea to a nail-biting courtroom controversy, the murky truth about the last voyage of the Mary Deare finally comes to light.

The Wreck of the Mary Deare

This will not be my last Hammond Innes book! Absolutely compelling maritime thriller! There are tragically few adventure-thrillers like this in today’s world.

Innes is a master of description and paints scenes so vivid that you are certain you stand there on the deck beside Gideon Patch, feeling the cold ocean spray on your face with great peril ahead!
