Publisher's Synopsis
Perils at Sea: The Late Wonderful Escape of the Great Western, Steam Ship, Compared with the Shipwreck of St. Paul, with Practical Reflections (1847) is a book written by Charles Hebert. The book recounts the harrowing tale of the Great Western steamship, which narrowly escaped disaster at sea, and compares it to the biblical story of the shipwreck of St. Paul. Hebert provides practical reflections on the lessons that can be learned from these stories of survival at sea, including the importance of preparation, the need for faith and courage in the face of danger, and the power of community in times of crisis. First published in 1847, Perils at Sea offers a fascinating glimpse into the dangers and challenges faced by early steamship travelers, as well as the enduring human spirit that allows us to overcome even the most daunting obstacles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
