Battered by year-round freezing rain and constant winds, it is one of the most inhospitable places on earth. To be shipwrecked there means almost certain death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Incredibly, at the same time on the opposite end of the island, another ship runs aground during a storm. Separated by only twenty miles and the island's treacherous, impassable cliffs, the crews of the \u003ci\u003eGrafton\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eInvercauld\u003c\/i\u003e face the same fate. And yet where the \u003ci\u003eInvercauld\u003c\/i\u003e's crew turns inward on itself, fighting, starving, and even turning to cannibalism, Musgrave's crew bands together to build a cabin and a forge--and eventually, to find a way to escape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using the survivors' journals and historical records, award-winning maritime historian Joan Druett brings to life this extraordinary untold story about leadership and the fine line between order and chaos.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books","offers":[{"title":"Island of the Lost: An Extraordinary Story of Survival at the Edge of the World | Joan Druett | Paperback | 9781616209704 | Used: Good | Back Stacks E 1743402","offer_id":48180542374040,"sku":"1743402","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91W8IaQemKL.jpg?v=1772226706","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/island-of-the-lost-an-extraordinary-story-of-survival-at-the-edge-of-the-world","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
