Very interesting story of the shipwreck gleaned through journal entries of the survivors. I had an ancestor on this ship, so it was of particular interest to me. Also talks about the hardships suffered by the Jamestown inhabitants and briefly touches on the relationship between the castaways story and Shakespear's "The Tempest". Good read, not too "textbooky".
