Sinopsis

'The Shipwreck,' by William Falconer, is a narrative poem detailing the perils of a voyage and the tragic loss of life at sea. First published in 1762 and revised in subsequent editions, Falconer?s work combines vivid descriptions of maritime life with the emotional impact of disaster. This 1818 edition, printed by the Chiswick Press and featuring illustrations by Richard Westall, revives the enduring appeal of Falconer?s verse. The poem offers a poignant reflection on human vulnerability against the backdrop of the unforgiving ocean, securing its place in the canon of nautical literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
