Neptune Speaks

by Frank Richardson Pierce

About this book

An aging shipbuilder watches the vessels whose keels he once helped lay and broods over a ship lost on her maiden voyage. His belief that only Neptune knows the untold tragedies of the sea introduces a grim account of what happened aboard the doomed vessel.

A gathering storm, decisions on the bridge and a struggle over the lifeboats bring the ship’s passengers and crew into conflict. The complete September 1928 sea story retains Hubert Rogers’s illustration and its final account of the sinking.
