      Book Overview

      A gripping tale of shipwreck and survival, "A Brave Vessel" is the fascinating account of a near-miss in the settling of Virginia, the true story behind Shakespeare's "The Tempest," and the tragedy of the man who failed as an author but who contributed to the creation of a masterpiece.

      By Tim Hall, Verified Purchase

      The Book was an interesting look into a little known time in history. The problem is that the last third or so, we have no sources for. The author just speculates.
