Byron Of The Wager (1740): Similar To The Bounty Mutiny.

This is the fabulous story of the Wager, a ship wrecked at Tierra Del Fuego after failing to survive the rough trip around Cape Horn. Barely had the survivors scrambled ashore before trouble began. Fueled by a large number of soldiers on board, the large amount of alcohol (this was the store ship in a large fleet trying to circumnavigate the world), there were troubles and factions galore. This is just a great read. Byron in the title refers to the Poet Byron's grandfather, so obviously they survived!
