Muir “Lady Castaways” offers an eclectic mix and insightful account of the misfortune of various females and their behaviour when confronted with the trauma of being shipwrecked.I avoid saying a cross section of women because, in most cases, these women are the wives of sea captains. For them the dangers of the deep are not unknown, even so, how they face up to the diabolical situations they find themselves in, often being the sole female aboard, is remarkable. While some suffer at the hands of fellow (male) victims, most show incredible courage. Even prior to the ship foundering some demonstrate qualities of leadership, seamanship and nautical instinct.“Lady Castaways” is a readable and well researched collection of tales about ladies who have survived a shipwreck and lived to tell the tale. Thanks to maritime historian, Joan Druett, for bringing these oft forgotten stories to life.Recommended.

By lscollison So-called "Reality" TV "survivor shows" pale in comparison to the accounts of real survivors -- especially as related by nautical historian, biographer and novelist, Joan Druett.Druett is an authority on women aboard ships during the age of sail. Lady Castaways is a reprise of real accounts of shipwrecked women brought vividly to life in one collection. These stories bring to light the long-forgotten experiences of women on ill-fated sailing ships and are exciting, inspiring survival stories in themselves.Joan Druett’s expertise in the subject of women aboard commercial sailing ships, generally as wives and assistants to their sea captain husbands, has been well established with her previous books, particularly Petticoat Whalers, Hen Frigates, and She Captains -- and numerous published articles. In Lady Castaways she further explores women on ships -- ill fated ships -- relating how they survived and contributed to the survival of others, based on first-hand accounts. Whalers, privateers, blockade runners, scientific missions, merchantmen and private trading vessels are all vividly portrayed.Had these ships not been wrecked we would not have ever known the women were aboard and the role they played. The collection is valuable historically but more than that, it’s just good reading. Forget the staged, televised 21st century survival stories -- Joan Druett's well-documented Lady Castaways surpasses all of these and is far more impressive for being true.-- Linda Collison, author of Barbados Bound and Surgeon's Mate; Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventures.
