Description
This is an illustrated short story based on the actual reported events of the galliot named the Nyssiens of Warnem�nde (1868). Two contradictory versions exist of this story that hint of a phenomenon happening in the late sailing era: buoyant wrecks left drifting on the sea. The Nyssiens was just one example of a ship carrying timber cargo that concluded her shipping days drifting around the ocean as a derelict. This was a pre-cursor to our modern ocean problem of giant floating trash patches. Since this book does feature a ship from Warnem�nde, Germany, it would be appropriate to include some local stories from the sailing era about the seaside town. These stories include: the Pre-Lighthouse Lighting, the Unfortunate Mormon Emissary and of course who could forget the tale of the Canine Bather.
