Introduction

There are far more true stories of tragedy at sea than there are fictional ones. Shipwrecks have been a threat to culture itself for thousands of years. In rare moments, scattered across the pages of history, we've heard darker stories. Of sailors returned from the dead, and of loved ones who never stop searching for land. Imagine if Admiral Nelson had failed in his mission off the coast of Spain in 1805 or how differently Russia's history might have played out.
