Knopf, this hardcover edition, encased in a dust jacket, unveils the tale of the Mary Deare, a 6,000-ton freighter with a history as turbulent as the waters it navigated.

One fateful March night, the battered and empty vessel sails from the ferocious Biscay gales into the English Channel, casting itself into newspaper headlines and maritime lore. As Mary Deare emerges from the abyss, she carries with her a tale of mystery and tragedy, enticing readers into one of the greatest sea stories of all time.
