About THE ICE SHIP
This is a work of fiction set in Antarctica in the 1840’s. It has been written in the style of Jules Verne’s ‘Voyages Extraordinaires’ and tells the story of a then futuristic steam-auxiliary whaling ship which ventures too far south into the waters of the Antarctica peninsula and becomes trapped within the ice. Her young captain is left aboard the ship whilst the crew treks northward across the ice. How they survive the terrible conditions is the main subject of the book. There are authentic photos, so real that you feel the cold. It is a story of courage and resourcefulness which questions the validity of overfishing and whaling in general.
