ABOUT The sea has always been New Zealand's highway to the rest of the world, and it has often been a dangerous one. Since the late eighteenth century, more than 2000 ships have cast their bones on New Zealand beaches, sometimes with horrific loss of life. In the century before our own, newspapers told not only of death and injury on the roads, but tragedy at sea. And, as the last chapters of this fascinating book show, seafaring remains a dangerous occupation, even with all the technological advantages of the late twentieth century.
