Jules Verne's 1875 book The Survivors of the Chancellor: Diary of J. R. Kazallon, Passenger describes the fatal journey of the British sailing ship Chancellor from the viewpoint of one of its passengers. THE SURVIVERS OF THE CHANCELLOR, written by Jules Verne, was published in 1875. His only tale that is entirely focused on a shipwreck is this one. He has gathered in it every tragedy, enigma, and hardship the sea is capable of. The story is referred to as the ""imperishable epic of shipwrecks."" According to legend, a picture of a French frigate at sea called ""the Wreck of the Medusa"" served as the inspiration for Jules Verne's book The Medusa. After being tortured for days, several of the survivors managed to escape on a raft and were found by a passing ship. In 1857, the Sarah Sands, transporting British troops to India, caught fire off the coast of Africa. The burning and sinking ship finally reached a harbour after 10 days of valiant effort.
