Robert Parsons' sea stories now number in the hundreds and have been published in five books as well as in local and national newpapers and magazines.
Here's what he has to say about Survive the Savage Sea:
The adage 'truth is stranger than fiction' certainly applies to the adventures and misadventures of Newfoundland seamen and their ships: piracy, fire, mutiny, disappearances, unexplained explosions, rammings, rum running, pursuit and capture by the American coast guard, collisions with icebergs, Some schooners were struck by lightning, shelled by enemy submarines, crushed by Arctic ice, swallowed up by "August Gales" or other violent windstorms, and hundreds were stranded on rocky shores. |
