Book Details
“Her crew were frozen
in blocks of ice.”
“‘They Were All Strangers’ captures the dismal drama of a nineteenth century shipwreck - the heartbreak, horror, and sometimes lurid fascination. Henry Osmers’ meticulous research and penchant for good storytelling has produced yet another excellent tale of Long Island maritime history.”
—Elinor DeWire, Author “Guardians of the Lights”
