Summary: EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN
Comment: One of the best shipwreck books to come along in a great while. This book is both readable and well researched (increasingly rare, in this field) with none of the flaws common to current maritime disaster books.....no recreated dialogue, no unsupported claims, no conspiracy theories, no "just plain making things up." If you are interested in this sort of thing, and have been disgusted as of late by the avalanche of really bad books (most of which relate to the Titanic) then this history of a little known tragedy might be just the thing for you.

Summary: An excellent coverage of a forgotten tragedy
Comment: As an amature local history buff, I'd heard of the Sophia tragedy, but this book beautifully illustrated who and what was lost that awful day, and her loss meant to the community. The author brings to life the people aboard her, the efforts to save them, and all the ironic poignancy that always accompanies a disaster? How could the captain have know that first day was the only chance he had of escape, that the weather would never improve? Definitely a good read.

Summary: Very good book about a little known diaster
Comment: When I read "The sinking of the Princess Sophia" I had no idea that it was that desperate, and that unfortunate of what had happen. This book is a very good book that coincides with the Titanic, it is a book that shows the passengers that went on the Sophia for her voyage, to the last trip, and the sinking. If you want to read a book that is about a little known diaster, but still has the qualities of a big sinking.Read it! It is thought provoking and very well written.
