IRELAND'S GREATEST CLIPPER SHIP - Built at Belfast in 1868 the Star of Greece was an iron clipper ship built by Harland & Wolff of Ireland for merchants JP Corry & Co. For 20 years she plied the waters between Britain, India and Australia before coming to grief on Friday, July 13th 1888, at Port Willunga. Her destruction and the loss of 18 lives left many unanswered questions. After two high-level inquiries blame for the wreck was laid squarely at the feet of her master, Captain Henry Russell Harrower.

Stories persist to this day proclaiming that the man had been drunk at the time of the shipÕs loss. The tangle of truths, cover-ups and lies, is much more complicated.

Star of Greece Ð For Profit & Glory tells the story of not just the ship but also tales of the rise, glory days and fall of the Red Heart Line of clipper ships. Here now is the definitive edition with new research and photographs.

A plus!
Format: Paperback
I’ve been trying so hard to get my 10 year old daughter with Dyslexia to enjoy reading. I bought this book hoping it would reel her in since she recently joined a swim team. It absolutely did. She loved it and now wants to read more. As an avid reader myself I am so so happy that she has finally read something she enjoyed and didn’t have to be forced to read. Thank you!!

Ordered this book for our Summer reading program and it was awesome and very relatable to the kids! Awesome job! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! The kids LOVED the storyline and the graphics so much and wanted to continue to read it when time was up after each program, which is a good thing! Here is a photo we took in our last day!
