      c2010., Apprentice House Call No: 910.9163 N427f    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "'Flashes in the Night' captures the tragic story of the sinking of the 'M/S Estonia' in dark, cold Baltic waters on September 28, 1994. Caught in a storm during an overnight trip between Tallinn, Estonia, and Stockholm, Sweden, the ship sank in a matter of minutes. Debate continues over whether the cause was structural or sabatoge, but the fact remains 852 souls were lost at sea in Europe's worst civilian disaster. Nearly one-third of those who escaped died of hypothermia. A twenty-nine-year-old Swedish entrepreneur and a pretty nineteen-year-old Swedish girl are a major focus of this dramatic account. On that night when Kent Harstedt met Sara Hedrenius on the top rail of the sinking ship, they made a date for dinner in Stockholm - if they survived. Through that endless darkness, huddled in near-freezing water intheir raft, they told each other jokes to stay awake and alive. Their date made world headlines. This is their story, and the story of the yound British adventurer Paul Barney, along with riveting accounts of others who were part of this harrowing life-or-death survival epic.".

      Ã2017., General, McClelland & Stewart Call No: 919.8 W341i    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: The story of the greatest mystery of Arctic exploration and how a combination of marine science and Inuit knowledge led to the shipwreck's recent discovery. The book weaves together the epic story of the Franklin Expedition - whose two ships and crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice - with the modern tale of the scientists, divers, and local Inuit behind the incredible discovery of the flagship's wreck in 2014. Author Paul Watson was on the icebreaker that led the discovery expedition. Sir John Franklin and the crew of the HMS Erebus and Terror set off in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. The hazards they encountered and the reasons they were forced to abandon ship hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost of Western civilization, and the decades of searching that turned up only rumours of cannibalism and a few scattered clues - until a combination of Inuit lore and the latest science yielded a discovery for the ages.
