Was there ever such a beast as the monstrous Kraken? Did a Welsh prince discover America, centuries before Columbus? What happened to the missing crew of the Mary Celeste? Along the way, they recount the stories that are an integral part of our coastal heritage, such as the tale of Drake’s Drum, said to be heard when England was in peril, and the mythical island of Hy Brazil, which for centuries appeared on sea charts and maps to the west of Ireland. The result is an endlessly fascinating, often surprising journey through our island history.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
